Members from the Ukrainian community attended a rally in the city centre to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland.
On 24 February, 2022, in a public address made by Russian President Vladimir Putin, a “Special Military Operation” on Ukraine was declared. Putin described the Operation was to support “Demilitarisation” and “Denazification” in breakaway Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk backed by Russia. The term is widely considered a euphemism to obfuscate the war’s objective of annexing Russophone regions of Ukraine.
The conflict in Ukraine is the deadliest war on European soil in over seventy years. Both sides have suffered roughly 1.8 million casualties combined, according to Forbes. Despite ongoing efforts to end the war in Ukraine, French president Emmanuel Macron recently said he is “very sceptical” about the possibility of short-term peace in Ukraine during a multinational meeting at Coalition of the Willing.
