This week, the Ukrainian Victory Campaign turned three 🎂
Three years ago, Scottish and Ukrainian volunteers and organisations came together to address the information gap relating to the ongoing mistreatment of Ukrainian POWs.
📢 Since then, UVC has held over 159 Public Actions to engage with the public in Scotland, advocating for international pressure to release the captive Ukrainians. UVC has taken part in multiple international campaigns with like-minded organisations worldwide to bring Ukrainian issues to Scotland's attention. We organised many talks that provided a platform for Ukrainian voices, along with screenings and art exhibitions.
🎯 Our actions to support Ukraine on the ground have targeted the most frontline regions. Together we turned words into action, and raised over £25,000 to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. With these funds, we sent 21 aid packages to different units across the frontline and further supported 17 grassroots crowdfunders for our Defenders. We also supplied hundreds of kilos of recycled vapes to be made into power banks and helped coordinate several humanitarian projects. These actions are the result of many communities coming together, working toward a shared goal: restoring peace in Ukraine. We urge you to join us tomorrow for the next Public Action:
📍 Location: Duke of Wellington Monument - 9 Waterloo Pl, Edinburgh EH1 3BG
🗓️ Date & Time: 14:00-16:00 on Saturday, 19 September 2026
🎯 Purpose: To continue to raise public awareness about the ongoing war in Ukraine, show our solidarity with Ukrainian Defenders, and to call the UK and Europe to arm Ukraine.
As our work continues, we are incredibly thankful to all our activists, volunteers, veterans and kind-hearted members of the public. We are grateful to the Ukrainian Defenders who, despite all the challenges, continue to work professionally on their tasks - without their daily work, there would be no Ukraine or peace in Scotland.
Together to Victory 🏴🤝🇺🇦
