On the tragic and heroic anniversary of February 24, let's light together bonfires that will be a symbol of the fact that our indignation at those who murder Ukraine and our admiration for its defenders do not go out.
Flame of Solidarity with Ukraine
February 24 marks the year of the bestial aggression of the Russian regime against our sisters and brothers from Ukraine. A year of their heroic attitude, unyielding fight in defense of home and homeland has passed. In defense of a normal life in a sovereign country.
The fate of Ukrainians depends on their determination and courage, which faces the test of fatigue and despair, but a lot also depends on the reaction of the civilized world, on each of us.
On the tragic and heroic anniversary of February 24, we propose to light bonfires that will be a symbol of the fact that our indignation at those who murder Ukraine and our admiration for its defenders do not go out. The flame of our solidarity and commitment to helping refugee sisters and brothers does not fade away.
