The third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is only a few days away.<\/p>\n
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress has issued an emotional call for us to give one hour of our time and join them on Sunday, February 23 with our placards and our flags. They are also asking us to share the demonstration you are attending on your socials and invite your friends via their Facebook event page. Information on the demonstrations can be found in the LNAK digital calendar<\/a> or on the UCC website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Given the events of recent days, we must emphasize that it is Russia that started this war and invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. The truth must be repeated often to counter the lies that are being repeated right now. These cataclysmic events are shaking our world. They also remind us of the time in 1939 when Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia signed a non-aggression treaty that came to be known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and in a secret protocol divided the Baltic states between them. This pact is the reason our parents and grandparents had to become refugees. It is hard to believe that once again we are living in a time when superpowers can sit down to divvy up smaller countries as they please and ride roughshod over the sovereignty and will of their citizens. <\/p>\n On Sunday, we must insist that there should be “Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.”<\/p>\n When the Russians invaded in 2022, Dainis \u012av\u0101ns, the leader of Latvia’s Popular Front in the 1980s, and a champion for freedom and democracy in Latvia, observed that the Ukrainians were fighting for us so that the events of 1940 do not make a return to Latvia. Let’s do our part to make sure this doesn’t happen!<\/p>\n See you on Sunday!<\/p>\n LNAK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11821,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[63,167],"tags":[637,101],"home-page-display-option":[182],"class_list":["post-11825","organizaciju-zina","type-organizaciju-zina","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-public-relations","category-ukraine","tag-demonstration","tag-ukraine","home-page-display-option-main"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
