A rally was held in Tsu to protest Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and Ukrainian women living in Mie Prefecture called for the end of the war and support for Ukraine as soon as possible.

About 100 people gathered at a rally in a park in the center of Tsu, and silently prayed to the victims of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.



Then, two women from Ukraine living in the prefecture gave a speech, and Harina Yamamoto, who lives in Suzuka City, said, "People who have lived normally are suffering. I want you to help Ukraine return to peace. "



Also, Mr. Orya Kashiwaya, who also lives in Suzuka City, said, "I myself am a mother, but it is very hard to think of a person who lost his child's life in the war and could not see growth. I want you to finish early. I hope this war will be the last one. "



Finally, the rally adopted an appeal to the Putin administration to stop military action and withdraw from Ukraine, saying Russia's actions were a violence against the Charter of the United Nations.



Harina said that her mother and brother are still in western Ukraine, so after the rally, she said, "I keep in touch with my family on a daily basis, but when I'm evacuating underground from night to morning, I get in touch. I can't connect. All my friends are crying and the Ukrainians are very scared. "



In addition, Mr. Olya said, "I am so disappointed that the lives of the children have been lost and I cannot speak. Japan and Ukraine cannot send supplies far away, but by appealing in this way, I can spread the voice to the Japanese people. I want the war to end as soon as possible. "
