"Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, Anzhela Prygozhyna has worn her traditional blue-and-yellow vyshyvanka almost every other day, including this past Saturday, when she went for a run along the Potomac River in Washington, D.C."
"We are here, all dressed up in our vyshyvankas, to show people that the war continues," said runner Roman Kachur. "Ukraine is suffering."
Andriy Smolensky, a Ukrainian soldier who was wounded in southern Ukraine last year... said to the crowd, 'That's something every Ukrainian has in their backpack. I'm kidding, but the point is, we really just want to support the movement.'
The vyshyvanka run raised funds for United Help Ukraine, with proceeds going to humanitarian aid, medical care, and mental health services for the Ukrainian people.
