LOCAL primary school students and the Casterton Rotary Club have stood in solidarity with Ukraine, as the onslaught by Russia rages on, half a world away.

Students from the Casterton Primary and Sacred Heart schools gathered for a vigil around the Peace Pole at the Rotary Park last Thursday morning to show support for those affected by the conflict.
