Thousands of demonstrators in the United States have unveiled the world's largest Ukrainian flag near the White House, urging President Donald Trump to support Ukraine as it continues its three-year war with Russia.

The flag measures an enormous 172 feet by 110 feet and weighs 150 kilograms.

The demonstration comes after Trump suspended U.S. military aid and intelligence-sharing with Kyiv following a tense exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Trump has also accused Zelenskiy of not being serious about negotiating a peace deal with Russia.
