Eiffel Tower lit up in blue and yellow for Ukraine's Independence Day
Paris' iconic Eiffel Tower was illuminated in blue and yellow on Monday to mark the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
French President Emmanuel Macron earlier joined a meeting of the so-called Coalition of the Willing of countries supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia's invasion.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, and swathes of Ukrainian territory have been laid waste, since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022.
U.S.-led peace talks to bring a lasting end to the war fell apart earlier this year as Ukraine refused Russian demands to cede more territory. Fighting continues along a 750-mile (1,200-km) front line and Ukraine has succeeded in bringing Russian advances overall to a virtual halt this year.
