Another Voices of Silence rally has taken place in Bucha in support of those who went missing and those still held in Russian captivity. Participants lined the road with flags, banners and portraits of their relatives.
The Bucha city council reported the rally.
Bucha city councilWhile they are not home, we will speak. While they are in captivity, we will wait. Until they return, we will not stay silent.
The banners carry names, dates of birth and the dates when contact with the soldier was lost. Children stood alongside the adults, some holding cardboard signs reading “Do not stay silent” and “I want all the men to come home”.

Why it is said this way
The Voices of Silence rallies are held so that the names of the missing and the captured are not left unmentioned. As long as a person is spoken about, the council says, that person has not disappeared.
At the end of August a similar rally was held in Makariv, by the Shevchenko monument.
As a reminder, defenders long considered missing came home on Independence Day.
