RALLIES: WAR ANNIVERSARY RALLY FOR UKRAINE

On Saturday, February 24, hundreds of Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine rallied at Denver’s capitol to show their support for Ukraine. 

The event, hosted by Ukrainians of Colorado, drew more participants than the prior year’s event, but the mood was markedly more somber. The loss of Avdiivka one week prior was fresh in our minds and, as one speaker told the crowd, the loss of that city after more than 10 years of resistance served “... as an example of what lies ahead if America does not supply the relevant and proportional arms and ammunition to Ukraine.” All those in attendance on the 24th drew solace and strength from one another, as community leaders, immigrants and politicians encouraged us to continue to stand behind and support Ukraine and its citizens. And with your support, Sunflower Seeds Ukraine was able to mark the anniversary by providing yet another 100 individual first aid kits (IFAKs)–worth $10,000–to Ukrainian Defenders. Thank you!
