Saskatoon Ukrainians calling for action amid protests

Saskatoon’s Ukrainian community, alongside numerous Ukrainian people throughout Canada, are calling on the federal government to act as violent protests spread throughout the Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Canadian Congress, shocked by graphic videos from protests in the country’s capital, Kyiv, has drafted a petition calling on the federal government to impose sanctions on the Ukrainian government.

“Canada has always been supportive of Ukrainian people and this is one of those times Canada has to show its support,” said Serhij Koroliuk of the congress’s Saskatoon branch.
