The protest will involve a demonstration in George Square and march through the city centre.
A representative body for Ukrainian refugees has called on the public to support a protest being held in Glasgow later this month to mark the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The body, which has its headquarters in London, exists to develop, promote and support the interests of the Ukrainian community in the UK and foster and advance Ukrainian knowledge, culture, arts, heritage and traditions.The Glasgow Branch of the AUGB said it is holding the demonstration “to highlight the ongoing brutality perpetrated by Russia against our peaceful and democratic nation”.
Ms Campbell also said that, while reminding the world that the war is still ongoing, the group is holding the protest in Glasgow’s main civic space to demonstrate that the strength and willpower of the Ukrainian people remains intact. “We shouldn’t really have war in this time and age. But also we want not just to have this in a negative way. We want to show the strength and willpower of Ukrainians and that we continue to resist and remain optimistic about our futures.have generally showed a lot of support and helped Ukrainians who have come here, and we would really like them to come out and support us. Unfortunately its not just our war it is an attack on freedom. It’s important for everyone to stand up for what is right.
