Protesters hold posters reading: "What did we spill our blood for?", "No capitulation", "Crimea, Donbas, Ukraine" as they gather in Independence Square in Kyiv, Ukraine, Sunday, Oct. 6, 2019. Thousands are rallying in the Ukrainian capital against the president's plan to hold a local election in the country's rebel-held east, a move seen by some as a concession to Russia.
