Ukrainian activists urge daily minute of silence to honor invasion victims, as participation wanes.

In Kyiv, Ukrainian activists are urging the public to observe a daily minute of silence at 9:00 am to honor victims of Russia's invasion, a tradition introduced by President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2022. Though initially followed, participation has declined, prompting a group of activists to gather weekly in central Kyiv to remind people. Kyiv city hall is considering a bill to mandate the pause in schools and public transport.
