MOSCOW, March 4 - RIA Novosti. 

Actions in support of Russia and against NATO and military assistance to Ukraine were held on Saturday in Sydney and other major cities of Australia, one of the coordinators of the action, Simeon Boikov, broadcast live about this event on his channel, and then shared information with RIA Novosti along with others by phone rally participants.

In Sydney, the rally was held near the building of the Russian Consulate General, where rallies in support of Moscow with the participation of ordinary Australian citizens have already been repeatedly held.

As before, they held Russian flags in their hands, portraits of Russian President Vladimir Putin , wore T-shirts with the letter Z.

"Stop the genocide against the Russian people!", "Russia is not an enemy! No war with Russia!" - read some of the slogans in front of the building of the Russian diplomatic mission in Sydney.

In Melbourne, the action took place at the steps in front of the Victorian Parliament building . 

The demonstrators in Melbourne, in particular, held portraits of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill, who was recently blacklisted by the Australian authorities.

In Brisbane, a group of Australians took to the action in white and black T-shirts with Z signs, holding Russian flags.

A participant in the demonstration in the city of Adelaide , 72-year-old Australian Alexander Kozlov told RIA Novosti by phone that people had gathered on the steps of Parliament House. 

Jay Tarappel, doctor of political economy at the University of Sydney , told RIA Novosti on the phone that he took part in the current rally in Sydney because he does not consider NATO a defensive alliance and does not want Australia to support it.

"I would like Australia to call on different countries to negotiate in order to eliminate differences. I want Australia to talk, not take sides," the scientist said.

Rallies in Australia in support of Russia and against military aid to Ukraine were also held on February 18 and 25.
