More than 100 protesters gathered at the Utah State Capitol to show support for Ukraine and demand peace after three years of war. Organized by Utah for Ukraine, the rally coincided with the upcoming third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Attendees, like Brynlee Gilmore, waved Ukrainian flags to express solidarity with friends and loved ones affected by the conflict. One attendee, Anastasiia Andriienko, shared her personal connection to the war, as her father has been serving in the Ukrainian armed forces and was recently wounded.
The emotional toll of the conflict was evident as protesters spoke out about the sacrifices made by Ukrainian soldiers and the impact on their families. The event also highlighted the frustration felt by some attendees over misconceptions about Ukraine’s fight for independence. Despite these challenges, there is hope for progress as U.S. and Russian officials recently met to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, with a future meeting between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin on the horizon.
The rally in Salt Lake City serves as a reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and the importance of international support for peace efforts. As the conflict continues to affect families and communities, events like these help raise awareness and push for solutions to bring an end to the violence and suffering in Ukraine.
