The event took place on 24. 2. 2023, on the eve of the day marking 365 days since Russia invaded the Ukraine. After gathering at Martin Place, the march continued on to St Mary’s Cathedral Square, where those gathered prayed for peace and took part in a candlelight mass.

In the evening of 24. 2. the Sydney Opera House was lit up in the colours of the Ukranian flag.
