Another local rally is planned today in support of the people of Ukraine.

The world is watching with shock and horror as Russian troops continue their advance into the sovereign nation.

A similar rally was held before the Russian invasion drawing a small number of supporters.

Attendance at today’s event is expected to draw more interest.

Organizers are asking people to wear blue and yellow, the colours of the Ukrainian flag.

Canada has the largest Ukrainian population outside Ukraine and Russia.

The rally takes place at 5:00 p.m. at St. John’s City Hall.
