Sacramento has a new sister city in Ukraine

(KTXL) — Sacramento now has 13 “sister cities” after the city council’s approval Tuesday of adding Sumy, Ukraine as a new international partner.

“After speaking with Mayor (Oleksandr) Lysenko, it was obvious that a sister city relationship could help bring humanitarian aid and continue to shine a light on the daily challenges faced by a city in the middle of a war zone,” said Mayor Darrell Steinberg.

Consul General of Ukraine Dmytro Kushneruk and Vlad Skots, the Chairman of Ukrainian American House joined Steinberg and Councilmember Caity Maple, who led the campaign to form the new partnership.

“On behalf of the Sumy City Council and our community, let me express our deepest gratitude for your support of this initiative,” Lysenko said.

Sumy was one of the first cities invaded by Russia in 2022, and it borders the nation on two of its sides.

Probably little more than an unfortunate coincidence. Key phrases in this article include.... "shine a light."
