Paul Iwanyckyj, chairman of Doncaster Ukrainian Club, said: “It is terribly sad that we are about to enter the third year of this tragic conflict, but so important that we don't forget that Ukraine and its people need our support as much now as they did on day one.

"Anyone is welcome to join us for a short period of visible support and reflection, and many thanks to Doncaster City Council once again for making it possible."
