Activists of the Ukrainian community went to a rally near the UN office in South Korea, protesting against Russia's war crimes. 

According to Ukrinform, the Embassy of Ukraine in the Republic of Korea announced this on Facebook

In particular, the participants of the rally condemned another massive shelling of civilian and critical infrastructure of Ukrainian cities, during which the country's largest children's hospital Okhmatdyt was destroyed in Kyiv on July 8.

They also stressed the illegitimacy of Russia's membership in the UN Security Council and the United Nations as a whole.

"The actions of the country, whose armed forces commit crimes against Ukraine daily, discredit and destroy the entire UN system as well as constitute a direct threat to international peace and security," the embassy said. 

In May, in the center of the capital of South Korea, activists of the local Ukrainian community held a press conference with the procession "Never Again", dedicated to honoring the memory of those who died in World War II.
