On September 30, 2024, the 115th rally in support of Ukraine took place in the heart of Lithuania's capital, at Cathedral Square in Vilnius. The event was dedicated to the Day of Defenders of Ukraine.
The rally began with a moment of silence. Words of gratitude to Ukraine’s defenders were expressed by Viktor Hamotskyi, Deputy Ambassador of Ukraine to Lithuania, and Valdas Bartkevičius, Head of the International Friends of Ukraine Foundation.
