On 24th February 2024, we gathered in Auckland, united in purpose and solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, as we marked the solemn occasion of the 2nd anniversary of the full-scale invasion and 10 years of relentless military aggression by russia against Ukraine. With this event, we kicked off the Ukrainian World Congress Global campaign #StandWithUkraine (under the local banner #DefendingDemocracy) which had 70 Countries participating with over 740 cities and a total of 1023 various events registered.
At our event, we also displayed an exhibition titled “Ukraine – The War in Europe”.
While we stand with Ukraine, we must also acknowledge the urgent need for action. The international community cannot afford to become silent or indifferent in the face of such blatant aggression and violation of international law, as this war persists. We must stand united in condemning these acts of aggression and demanding accountability for those responsible.
Do not ask Ukraine when the war will end. Ask yourselves why Putin is still able to continue it.
As we stand in solidarity with Ukraine, let us reaffirm our commitment to justice and human dignity. Let us honor the memory of those who have lost their lives. And let us pledge to work tirelessly towards a future where every nation, regardless of size or power, can live in peace and prosperity, and the bully does not dare to use brutal force like what Russia is doing today.
