About 700 Russians thought to have attended demonstration, calling for an end to the war in Ukraine
Marina Litvinenko, the widow of the defector poisoned in London, led calls for a Ukrainian victory in the year-long war at a noisy demonstration of several hundred outside the Russian embassy in the capital on Saturday.
The campaigner was one of several high-profile figures who spoke at a rally across the road from the diplomatic mission in Notting Hill, part of an attempt to highlight Russian opposition to Vladimir Putin’s regime.
