The sign reads, "Numantine resistance of a town against the Russian invader". REUTERS/Jon Nazca

FUENTES DE ANDALUCIA, Spain (Reuters) - A peaceful white-walled village in southern Spain has changed its name to Ukraine in solidarity with those caught up in the conflict more than 4,000 km (2,500 miles) away.

On a sign at a roundabout at the village's entrance, Ukraine has replaced Fuentes de Andalucia and the country's blue and yellow flag has been painted alongside.
