One-year anniversary of massive-scale Russian invasion marked tonight at Prince George city hall
While people the world over gather in a vigil to mark the one-year anniversary of the Russian-Ukraine war, Vova Pluzhnikov will attend the Prince George city hall memorial tonight at 6 p.m. knowing the conflict in his native country has been going on for nine years.
“It’s been a struggle for the past nine years since the initial annexation of Crimea and Donbas and the struggle continues and it will not end until Ukraine proves it’s an independent country,” he said. “We want democracy and we want to be part of Europe and the European Union and NATO and we’re finally walking away from communism and the Soviet Union.”
“The first thing every Ukrainian family says is how incredible Canadians have been with their kindness and that’s been great,” said Pluzhnikov. “There’s a lot of people who come to Prince George and they’re afraid of their English skills or just shy in general. People have different values and the culture is completely different in Ukraine and I would encourage people to be more patient with the Ukrainian families who come here and support us. The support has been amazing.
For the last month, starting in mid-January, Kharkiv has been hit multiple times and I think they’re just ramping up their efforts to take Kharkiv, because that would d be a huge victory for them, but that will never happen.” “It’s a humanitarian catastrophe and all these countries are trying to help us because there are so many civilians struggling.”
