As well as prayers and readings led by York Minster’s Canon Maggie McLean, the event – in the nave from 10.30am to 11.30am – will feature singing by the York Ukraine Together choir, and a performance of a piece by the Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk.
There will also be poetry readings in both English and Ukrainian.
The Lord Mayor of York Cllr Chris Cullwick, who is expected to attend, said he was delighted to support the event.
“It is incredibly important to mark the second anniversary of the illegal invasion of Ukraine and to stand alongside the Ukraine members of our community here in York,” he said.
