Largo do Colégio served once again as a meeting point for the Ukrainian people who, like a year ago, at this time, came together to express the anguish experienced by the homeland and by those who were there. Relatives, friends, strangers, compatriots.

Miguel Albuquerque, Rita Andrade or Pedro Calado were some of the politicians who made a point of being present at this vigil that is taking place on a global scale and to which Madeira has joined.
In fact, the President of the Regional Government even commented, this Friday morning, on the future of this conflict, which in his opinion will drag on over time.
