Leesburg Mayor and Town Council to Hold Vigil for Ukraine
Leesburg, VA (March 16, 2022) – Mayor
Kelly Burk and the Leesburg Town
Council will hold a vigil for Ukraine on
Friday, March 18, beginning at 7 p.m.
Remarks will be made regarding the
current events in Ukraine followed by
prayer, a moment of silence, and a live
performance of traditional Ukrainian
music.
“Cruelty is a horrible thing to witness. The on-going events in Ukraine display man’s cruelty at
its most deprived. It is so difficult not being able to directly help those in need,” Burk said. “This
vigil will allow our community to come together to show our support for the Ukrainian
community. We stand with the Ukrainian people and for the Democratic nation of Ukraine.”
The vigil will take place on the Town Green, 25 W Market Street, in Leesburg. The public is
encouraged to attend.
