Yvonne Strahovski joined thousands of Torontonians in a march for Ukraine this weekend to protest Russia's invasion of the country.

The Australian actress with Polish roots, known for her work in The Handmaid's Tale and The Tomorrow War, posted photos to Instagram on Sunday from a protest for Ukraine in downtown Toronto.

In her post, Strahovski can be seen marching alongside Torontonians in a face mask with Ukraine's colours painted on one side and a streak of red on the other.

The actress posted several images and a video of people marching in the streets waving flags and holding signs, all in support of Ukraine.

One picture in her post features a protester's sign that reads, "Stand with Ukraine." Strahovski captioned the post, "Today Toronto marched."

Russia attacked Ukraine last Thursday in what the Ukrainian foreign minister called a "full-scale invasion."

Since Russia's initial invasion, President Vladimir Putin has alluded to the potential use of nuclear weapons and received mass criticism from countries in the West for escalating the already-fraught situation.

According to the Ukrainian Candian Congress, over 20,000 people attended the "mega march" in Toronto.

Gatherings and rallies have been ongoing this past week in response to the conflict and in solidarity with Ukraine.
