As one of many who spoke at the commemorative event, the Ambassador of the Ukraine in Australia Vasyl Volodymyrovych Myroshnychenko gave a speech in the square in front of St Mary’s Cathedral in centre of Sydney. During the official ceremony, each representative of the local Consular Corps added a small Ukranian flag to a larger bundle as a symbolic reminder of the many human lives lost in the two years of the invasion. This commemorative event mirrored similar events that took place in numerous places in the Ukraine. As part of the event, there was a fundraising drive to support the Ukraine in its resistance against the aggressor.
