Join events in the US to show support for Ukraine!

Ukrainian soldiers are calling on people to take to the streets of their cities so as to thank their countries for the support they have already offered to Ukraine, and to appeal to their governments to supply Ukraine with heavy weapons.

“There is a direct connection between the international aid our army receives and the support of the citizens of different countries as demonstrated by regular pro-Ukrainian rallies and demonstrations in their cities. It is not always obvious, but today it is more important than ever!

In effect, [the extent of international] aid for Ukraine is in our hands. We invite you to attend the events that are nearest to you, and to spread information about them among your friends!” the Ukrainian Witness team writes on their Facebook page.
