Michael Shwec, the president of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, which organized the event, said it was important for Montreal’s Ukrainian community to show solidarity after nearly three years of war.
“It’s not a conflict, and it’s not a regular war. This is a full-blown genocidal invasion,” Shwec said in an interview.
“What we wanted to show tonight is that after 1,000 days, we understand it’s not 1,000 days of war. It’s 1,000 days of the heroism of the Ukrainian people. To withstand such a formidable opponent, it’s nothing short of a miracle and true heroism.”
