On August 24, Ukraine will celebrate Ukraine Independence Restoration Day.
The Free World Gathering has announced the Chain of Unity initiative, which will occur in the central squares of cities outside Ukraine on 24 August at 7 p.m.
All you need to do is follow the initiative's website and mark on the map of your city where you plan to stand. In this way, other participants can see the mark and join in creating the chain.
