Rally for Ukraine planned in Milwaukee on 2-year anniversary of Russian invasion

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- This Saturday marks two years since the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. 

Since Feb. 24, 2022, daily attacks have taken place in Ukraine. 

Bombs hitting schools, hospitals and civilian buildings has become the new norm, but many Ukrainians say hope prevails. 

Karina Tweedell is a board member of Wisconsin Ukrainians Inc. 

She says a rally will be held Saturday, Feb. 24, at 1 p.m., at the orange Sunburst sculpture in O'Donnell Park, for community members to stand in unity and solidarity with Ukraine. 

"Over 180 cities around the world are uniting in Believe in Ukraine campaign, and we're a part of it. It's really exciting that Milwaukee is able to participate in that," said Tweedell. "If this is not stopped as soon as possible in Ukraine, then there are really big concerns that the war will expand and will touch us a lot more directly than it's touching us now."
