Rally In Support Of Ukraine Scheduled For Tuesday In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — A rally in support of Ukraine is scheduled for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in front of the Stamford Government Center.

Mayor Caroline Simmons will be joined by Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, Ukrainian-American community leaders and elected officials to stand in solidarity with the Stamford Ukrainian-American community in light of Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine.

Last week, Simmons posted about the invasion on social media, and offered support to Ukraine.

"The disregard for the Ukrainian sovereignty and international law is unacceptable and we will work with the Ukrainian community in Stamford to provide support in any way we can," Simmons said in part. "Let's continue to keep Ukraine and its people in our thoughts and prayers."
