In the former Soviet republic of Georgia, about 30,000 people hit the streets of the capital, Tbilisi, holding Georgian and Ukrainian and singing both countries' national anthems.

Georgia, like Ukraine, is facing Russia-backed separatist movement following a brief war with Russia in 2008. Moscow-backed forces have since held the Georgian regions Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

"We have sympathy for the Ukrainians, perhaps more than other countries, because we've experienced Russia's barbaric aggression on our soil," 32-year-old taxi driver Niko Tvauri, told AFP.

In a rare event in Iran siding with Western powers, video showed about 50 people in Tehran assembled near the Ukrainian Embassy, some holding candles and Ukrainian flags and chanting, “Death to Putin.”

1. Iran Georgia, in terms of population.

But one's had two Putinini invasions, while the other's vaguely an ally.

50 people. That's fewer than my 1st and 2nd period classes. In a school that's sort of large, but not as large as Iran.

Embarrassing.
