Liberty Bridge shines blue and yellow for Ukraine

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Liberty Bridge in downtown Greenville is lit up blue and yellow on Saturday night in a show of support for Ukraine.

Advocates gathered at the Bowater Amphitheater in Falls Park to mark the second anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine and show their solidarity with the people of the eastern European nation. On Feb. 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, escalating the war between the two countries that began in 2014.

Tens of thousands of Ukraine’s civilians and armed forces have been killed. “Believe in Ukraine” is a worldwide campaign that launched Saturday “in support of Ukraine’s ten-year struggle for peace.” People around the world rallied for the launch of the campaign, which will continue throughout the year.
