'We will stand with Ukraine as long as it takes as much as it takes.'
Yellow and blue flags and shouts of"Slava Ukraini" filled the streets of downtown Toronto on Friday evening as thousands gathered to show support for Ukraine on the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion.
"The one-year anniversary of Russia's war on Ukraine is a sombre reminder of the need for urgent action to resolve this ongoing crisis," march's organizer Marc Shwec said in a press release."We cannot afford to allow this conflict to continue with the ongoing humanitarian and security risks it poses."
"I am consistently taken by his courage and his resilience. He had stared down Putin's threats since before the invasion. He has rallied support from around the world. He is giving hope to his people," Trudeau said. In his remarks, Ford praised the determination of the Ukrainian people over the last year, calling it"truly inspirational."
Olha Khometa, a volunteer at the event, said Friday's rally was a way to mourn those who lost their lives in the war as well as recognize the strength Ukrainians displayed over the past year.
