Members of the Ukrainian community of Bermuda gathered yesterday [Feb 24] on the steps of City Hall in Hamilton to show support and solidarity for each other and their homeland.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been widely condemned by the international community, and western nations have levied various sanctions against Putin’s regime, and the Bermuda Monetary Authority has posted the sanction notices on their website.
The Ukrainian community have thanked their “Bermuda family” for standing with them and said the “support we are getting from you is incredible.” Noting that many people are asking how they can help, they have set up a fundraising page to raise funds for the Red Cross in Ukraine.
They partnered with Ptix for the fundraiser, and the Ptix website said, “Dear Bermuda family: thank you for standing with us during this most difficult time for our country. The support we are getting from you is incredible. A lot of you are asking how you can help to support Ukrainian people who are impacted by the Russian invasion. We have partnered with Ptix to start a fundraising page that will raise funds for Red Cross Ukraine. All funds raised will go directly to the Red Cross Ukraine to help the people most affected by this tragedy. Thank you for your support. Yours sincerely, Ukrainians in Bermuda.”
