The Ukrainian community in Lebanon, the Ukraine Universities and Institutes Alumni Club in Lebanon and the Ukrainian Embassy in Lebanon, organized today a vehicle rally in support of Ukraine marking one month since the start of the war on its territory.
Participants set out from Dbayeh along the highway far-reaching Beirut’s downtown area, where they decorated their cars with Ukrainian flags of blue and yellow and raised Ukrainian slogans and anti-war banners.
Arriving at Beirut central district, participants gathered at Martyrs’ Square to partake in the “Invincible Flag” event, where they carried the 30 meters long Ukrainian flag in the main square in Beirut, while representatives from different countries joined, namely Lebanese, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Poles and others, to “demand that Russia stops this bloody war affecting children, women and civilians…for 140 children have been killed since the beginning of the war and more than 5,000 homes and about 570 schools and kindergartens have been destroyed, while 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes, including 4 million children.”
Finally, Ukraine’s Ambassador to Lebanon Ihor Ostash thanked Lebanon for the statement condemning the “Russian aggression against Ukraine”, as well as its support for Ukraine during the two votes in the United Nations General Assembly. He also thanked the Lebanese ambassadors for providing significant humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
