Calls for more action overseas come as the beleaguered Eastern European country enters its second month since Russia invaded Ukraine.
This rally started at Water Tower, where U.S. Senator Dick Durbin spoke Sunday in support of protesters outraged over the"unprovoked Russian military invasion of Ukraine.""I'm especially honored by the Ukrainian-American population here in Chicago, one of the largest in the United States. The solidarity you have shown from start to finish is amazing -- it inspires me -- all who are gathered here today," Durbin said.
"My grandparents came from Ukraine," said Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky."They lived there and finally came to the United States early in the last century. My grandfather was a peddler. He sold vegetables through the alleys in his horse and wagon in the city of Chicago -- a hard worker, and I am proud of my Ukrainian heritage."
President Biden added extra muscle to his words Saturday, delivering forceful remarks from Ukraine from Poland.
