The gathering is expected to take shape near the Park Street MBTA station around noon, and will be similar to Sunday's demonstration on the Common that showed support for Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that the war has claimed the lives of tens of thousands Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. Russia's Ministry of Defense has not released updated numbers, but its believed that they as well have lost tens of thousands of people.
The United States and Russia have resumed high level talks to bring peace to the area, but Ukraine hasn't been at the negotiating table.
Earlier this month, Zelenskyy told NBC News that he would not accept a peace deal if he is not allowed at the negotiating table. On Sunday, Zelenskyy said that he would be willing to resign if it meant peace in Ukraine or NATO membership.
