One of those looking to attend the rally is Oksana Wilson, a Ukranian who lives in Richhill in Co Armagh.
She has been left fearing for the safety of her daughter and grandsons back in Ukraine.
Yesterday, a similar rally was held outside the Irish Parliament in Dublin protesting against the Russian invasion.
The crowd chanted, waved Ukrainian flags and carried placards attacking the full-scale invasion launched by Russian president Vladimir Putin.
They were joined briefly by Taoiseach Micheal Martin, who stopped to talk to some of those who had gathered on Kildare Street.
Ada Pungas, who lives in Balbriggan in Co Dublin, said that her family were still in Ukraine.
She said that people at home were trying not to panic.
"Panic has worked for Putin," she said.
"That's what he wants.
"We pray for our army and we trust our army."
She said that the entire world needs to support Ukraine against actions of Russian and Mr Putin.
"If he cracks Ukraine, he will never stop. His goal is to destroy all of Europe."
