February 24 marks three years since Russia's invasion. The State Capitol dome was also lit blue and yellow in solidarity as world leaders work to finally end the war.
Monday night's rally was an effort to show the community that the Ukrainian spirit is not broken and that the war is not over, communicating that ongoing support is needed. "It is very important to be together," said Olga Noshyn, event organizer and member of Sacramento's Sunflower Society. "A lot of our friends are fighting. We have families there. We would like to say we are standing with them."
Kushneruk told CBS13 that Ukrainian leaders and diplomats like himself are grateful for the American support so far and hope it continues as world leaders come to the table looking for a solution.
"We want for this to be a long-lasting, just and fair peace for Ukraine. That's what is important," said Kushneruk. "We are ready to work with the U.S. administration. We have always appreciated the bipartisan support we have in the United States." Over the summer, some who rallied at the state capitol told CBS13 that this very war sent them to the polls in the November election. Monday, supporters prayed for a solution. "President Trump is looking and seeking the best for his country. He is looking for the best deal for the United States. It's not the best deal for Ukraine," said Noshyn. "We are not going to give up our territories. We're not going to give up on our people. We will fight. Fighting is all we have." Ukrainian Americans hope their two countries remain united to end the war. Sacramento supporters of Ukraine rally at the capitol every month on the 24 — a date that marks not only Russia's invasion in February, but August 24 is Ukrainian Independence Day.
