The region’s Ukrainian community is asking for public meetings and landmarks across Dumfries and Galloway to be lit up in blue and yellow in a mark of solidarity.
Annan’s Mary MacRae (nee: Mychalyschyn) said raising the flag of Ukraine is another visible sign to show support for the country whose people are battling hard against the Russian land, sea and air invasion which began in earnest six days ago.
Mary said: “I think the Ukrainians and those of Ukrainian descent living here would really appreciate the defiant gesture of lighting up Dumfries and Galloway Council buildings and others, and raising flags. It sends an important message to Putin.
