Announcements of rallies in Europe on June 17-24. Updated

In a week, the leaders of the EU member states will gather for a summit in Brussels to discuss Ukraine’s application for EU candidate status. This status will be Ukraine’s first step towards full membership in the EU and will launch a process of formal membership negotiations.

That is why we call on Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine around the world to join forces and join the Embrace Ukraine campaign to demonstrate and express strong support for Ukraine’s EU aspirations.

On June 11-12, powerful actions took place in four European capitals. We thank everyone who joined and we urge everyone to continue to support Ukraine with actions on June 18-19 with multiplied force.
