On August 29, 2025, an action with candles takes place in partnership with the Paneuropabe movement in Austria in Vienna to commit the day of memory to the fallen defenders and defenders in Ukraine.
📍 Location: Maria-Theresien-Platz, Vienna
🕰 Fit: 19:30 – 21:00 UHR
This initiative is reminiscent of everyone who gave their lives for the independence and freedom of Ukraine. August 29 was elected as a commemoration day because it is inextricably linked to Ilovajsk’s tragedy in 2014 when hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers and soldiers were attacked and killed by Russian troops during the agreed humanitarian corridor. The symbol of this day is the sunflower.
The memorial event in Vienna includes candlelight, flowers and memorial tables, which not only pay tribute to the victims, but also make solidarity visible with Ukraine. The aim of the campaign is to remind both the Ukrainian community and the international public from the fact that Ukrainian soldiers and soldiers defend Europe against the arbitrariness of dictatorial states.
The campaign is carried out in cooperation with the following local/institutions:
1. Coffee Junkie Kirchengasse
Kirchengasse 21, 1070 Wien
2. Elvira’s
Elviras Restaurant, Seidlgasse 39, 1030 Vienna
3. Warenyk house at home
OperaGasse 18, 1040 Vienna
4. Grnd Restaurant
Kärtner Straße 61, 1010 Vienna
5. Market 44a
Schüttustraße 44a, 1220 Vienna
With this joint initiative we set a clear sign: Austria and the Ukrainian diaspora stand by side by side, in which solidarity and in commitment to freedom and peace in Europe.
