The invasion of Ukraine has sparked worldwide outrage and an outpouring of support.

That support will include a peace rally Tuesday at the University of Arizona.

The UA college of humanities and department of Russian and Slavic studies will have a peace rally in support of those affected by the invasion.

Speakers will include faculty members familiar with the region as well as Tucson City Councilwoman Nikki Lee.

The event will give students a chance to celebrate Ukraine’s artistic achievements.

They will also be able to sample traditional foods and learn how to support humanitarian efforts in the region.

The rally takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday at University Mall.
