On 24 February 2026, marking the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the digital platform Strichka announced the first results of the global campaign Stop the Evil Together. The initiative brought together more than 45 organisations and groups of Ukrainians abroad across over 20 countries worldwide.
The first events took place on 21–22 February, with the final activities scheduled for 24 February. The format combines offline actions with digital engagement in the Strichka app, where an online quest marathon in support of Ukraine is ongoing.
The National Antarctic Scientific Centre also joined the initiative. At the Akademik Vernadsky station, Ukrainian polar researchers supported the campaign, demonstrating symbolic solidarity with their homeland even on the remote continent.
In Germany, the Ukrainian community organised a rally and march in Koblenz.
In Italy, demonstrations took place in Rimini and Ravenna, where participants gathered for rallies and cultural events.
Spain’s Barcelona hosted Ukraine Week, which combined artistic events, charitable initiatives and a large-scale march through the city. The symbol of the event was a large sculpture of Lesya Ukrainka, created in the Catalan tradition.
In Mexico, the Ukrainian community organised a march in central Mexico City with the participation of local activists. During the events, participants informed the Mexican audience about the course of the war and Ukraine’s needs. Charitable initiatives within the campaign raised funds to support Ukrainian projects.
Memorial and solidarity events also took place in the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Canada, the Czech Republic, Cyprus and the United States.
In Seattle, hundreds of people marched to Seattle Center, while in Exeter, England, a memorial service was held.
A memorial concert was held in Kaunas, and a photo exhibition dedicated to the stories of Ukrainians who survived the occupation and shelling was held in Halifax.
Alongside the street events, a digital marathon is underway in the Strichka app. Participants complete tasks aimed at drawing international attention and strengthening support for Ukraine.
A key element of the campaign is a joint fundraising initiative with the Serhii Prytula Charity Foundation. The funds raised are being directed towards innovative interceptor drones capable of downing enemy “Shahed”-type unmanned aerial vehicles before they reach cities and critical infrastructure.
