A vigil will be held to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian community in Brighton and Hove is urged to come together for the event to reflect on the experience of those affected by the ongoing war and acknowledge the support from people in the city, the UK and around the world.

The event, organised by community group Stand For Ukraine Brighton And Hove, will see people share their stories of resilience and support, along with a photo exhibition, guest speeches and a minute’s silence for those killed in the conflict.

A spokesman for the group urged people to “join the Ukrainian community of Brighton and Hove to commemorate the year since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and to praise the bravery and resilience of Ukraine in its fight for freedom”.

The vigil will take place on Saturday between 2pm and 5pm at All Saints Church in The Drive, Hove.

A national minute’s silence will beheld on Friday, a year to the day Russian forces invaded the country.
