This view of the protest installation outside the Russian Embassy on Pikk Street highlights several direct appeals and condemnations aimed at the Russian government. "STOP KILLING PEOPLE": A large, hand-painted sign on the right bluntly demands an end to the violence. This slogan has become a staple of anti-war protests worldwide. "STOP WAR CRIMINALS": The banner on the bottom left features a missile marked with the Russian flag and the demand to stop "war criminals." This reflects the widespread accusation that Russian leadership is committing war crimes in Ukraine. The large white sheet in the center is covered with drawings of cats in blue and yellow bowties, likely representing innocent lives or perhaps a specific children s art project. The text on the right translates from Estonian: "TO THE VICTIMS OF WARS STARTED BY RUSSIA" (Venemaa poolt alustatud so~dade ohvritele). This frames the current conflict as part of a longer history of Russian aggression. The central drawing includes poignant handwritten messages like "NOBODY LOVES YOU!" and "WE DON T WANT WAR!", expressing a mix of personal disdain for the aggressors and a universal plea for peace.
