Stamford Stands In Solidarity With Ukraine: Mayor Simmons

STAMFORD, CT — The eyes of the world continue to be on Ukraine, where Russia began an invasion earlier this week.

Here locally in Stamford, Mayor Caroline Simmons offered support to the Ukrainian-American community in the wake of the most kinetic military action in Europe since World War II.

"Stamford is home to a large and vibrant Ukrainian-American community. Today, we are united and stand with the people of Ukraine as they face this unjustified and illegal war of aggression," Simmons said in a social media post on Thursday evening.

"The disregard for the Ukrainian sovereignty and international law is unacceptable and we will work with the Ukrainian community in Stamford to provide support in any way we can. Let's continue to keep Ukraine and its people in our thoughts and prayers."

The post on Facebook received several comments from residents thanking Simmons and the city for their support.
