This global initiative aims to remind the world of the ongoing war, its devastating impact, and the urgent need for continued support for Ukraine’s fight for freedom and independence.
The campaign will be backed by international partners, including the International Center for Ukrainian Victory (ICUV) and the Communities Army Of Ukraine (CAU), and will focus on advocating for increased international pressure on Russia. It calls on democratic governments worldwide to unite in their support for Ukraine, aiming to ensure its territorial integrity and peace.
