A DEMONSTRATION will take place in Glasgow this weekend which aims to show solidarity and support with Ukraine.
A Day of Action for Ukraine is being hosted by Ukrainians in Glasgow and will be held in George Square on Saturday, April 9.
Speakers, musicians and artists will gather to celebrate Ukraine's culture and show that Glasgow is a city that welcomes all refugees.
Attending the demonstration will be opera singer Oksana Mavrodii, who is originally from Nikolaev in Southern Ukraine and Glaswegian singer-songwriter Alice Faye Niel.

The organisation wants to encourage people also living outside of the city to show their solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
