The evening of the same day, a crowd gathered near the Russian Embassy in Ukraine.

Kiev residents placed flowers, toys and candles near the Embassy gates. They also left notes with words of support.

People cried and made crosses over their hearts as they put dozens of bouquets and lit lamps on the lawn and the foundation of the embassy building on Vozduhoflotskiy boulevard.

November 1 was declared as a national day of mourning in Russia.
