(MENAFN- UkrinForm) On December 31, families of prisoners of war gathered in Zaporizhzhia to hold a rally aimed at reminding society about their loved ones still held in captivity.
According to a Ukrinform correspondent, the event's organizer, Stella Orel, shared:
"Today we gathered to remind everyone that our boys and girls are in captivity. They have no holidays or weekends. A part of our soul is with them - they are not forgotten. We don't need a Christmas tree or gifts. We need our loved ones to come home. We are waiting for them."
At Artists Square, participants set up a table with empty chairs, symbolizing the inability of families to gather together for festive meals while their loved ones remain in captivity.
