Residents are invited to come together at Bath Guildhall on Tuesday 24 February to mark four years since Russia’s full‑scale invasion of Ukraine, in an evening of remembrance, reflection and solidarity.
Russia’s full‑scale invasion and war against Ukraine continues to devastate communities, displace millions of people, and challenge global commitments to democracy, sovereignty and human rights.
Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Resettlement team is hosting a commemorative gathering at the historic Guildhall in Bath to provide a space for reflection, remembrance and solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
The early‑evening event will include short speeches, moments of reflection, Ukrainian music and opportunities for community connection.
Councillor Kevin Guy, Leader of Bath & North East Somerset Council, said: “Four years on and we continue to defend democracy and stand in solidarity with Ukraine and its people. People across Bath & North East Somerset are still helping Ukrainian people displaced by this war supported by our resettlement team and tremendous work has also been done by The Friends of Oleksandriya group – all of whom will be warmly welcomed to the Guildhall to mark this anniversary.”.
The event is free to attend but places are limited and booking is essential. It is open to members of the Ukrainian community, their sponsors and hosts, and residents who wish to mark the anniversary and stand with Ukraine.
