Swansea Council stands in solidarity with Ukraine
A joint Emergency Notice of Motion below, supported by Swansea Council's group political leaders and Cabinet, was agreed by full Council on March 3.
Emergency Notice of Motion
"We deplore the unacceptable aggression that President Putin has taken against the people of Ukraine, bringing war once more to the continent of Europe
We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
Swansea is known for being a city of sanctuary and as such we stand ready to support any people who are displaced following the terrible actions taken by the president of Russia by invading a sovereign state.
His actions do not respect the rule of international law or the United Nations and are rightly being condemned by democratic nations across the world.
We will support all efforts to secure a peaceful and diplomatic solution, and for conflict and loss of life to be avoided."
