Twinning York with Kharkiv
In these dark times it's difficult to decide what is the best
thing to do to support the brave City and inhabitants of Kharkiv in
Ukraine.
No-one can be unaware of the on-going suffering of the Ukrainian
people, but this northern city of Kharkiv are taking the brunt of
the Russian aggression. I visited Ukraine last year, for the first
time. I was made to feel welcome by local people, and could see
they had a rich heritage, and the pride the people had in their
identity - as a free nation.
However and whenever this war is resolved, the people of that city
- however much of it is left standing - will need material,
psychological, emotional and moral support from the international
community. As York prides itself as a centre of tolerance and
peace, I would hope that it would recognise the part that it can
play in the rebirth of a fellow historical, and University city -
Kharkiv
