The peaceful Voices of Silence rally in support of prisoners of war and defenders missing in action will take place in Bucha on Saturday, 14 November. It starts at 11:00.

This was announced by Bucha City Council.

Participants will stand along the Varshavska highway near the NOVUS store at 104-D Kyievo-Myrotska Street. The rally was held at the same spot on 3, 17 and 31 October.

The rally is meant to remind people of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians who are still in captivity, and of those whose fate is unknown. The council invites everyone who wants to support the waiting families to join.

Silence does not mean they have been forgotten. Behind every name there is a story, a family, unfulfilled plans and a home where someone is still waiting for them to return.

Bucha City Council

In September the city council said 188 residents of the community were still awaited at home: 148 are listed as missing and another 40 are in captivity.

On 23 October 270 Ukrainians were brought home from captivity in an exchange.

As a reminder, at the rally in Bucha on 31 October a child held a sign reading “Bring my dad back”.
