The Ukrainians send all their forces from Salamanca to “not forget the conflict” four years later

Four years seems like a small period of time if we talk about historical periods, but everything changes when we talk about armed conflicts where thousands of people perish and where childhoods are taken away suddenly, without warning and through warmongering.

The capital of Tormes has witnessed how the Ukrainian community does not want to silence the war that is being fought in Eastern Europe and where “medicines and economic aid continue to be sent”, as explained Yulia Shemelyak, president of the Association of Ukrainians.

With this mobilization we want to ensure that this battle that day after day means that Ukrainians in Salamanca, Spain and the world cannot sleep properly because they do not know the future of their native country and their entire lives.

In this way, it was intended that not only people from Ukraine participate in this rally, but that people from Salamanca join together so that “it can be seen that the war continues and that Ukraine is not alone.”

Starting from the beginning of Toro Street, the central streets of Salamanca will be visited to make the cause visible. Later, they will arrive at the Plaza Mayor to end at the Plaza de los Bandos.

With Ukrainian anthems in unison, they have remembered the victims of this war, in some cases with family members present and without forgetting that they fell at the hands of Russia.

Likewise, Shemelyak herself has highlighted that this type of mobilization serves to ensure that the conflict continues to receive media attention, even considering that the situation is still tougher than four years ago because the wear and tear that has accumulated is greater with the passage of time.

Finally, they have also made it clear that with these demands they also want to preserve the culture, language, traditions and, of course, their territory, considering “international support essential”, remembering the high number of civilian fatalities.
