As the city filed it

As we mark the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the City of Toronto can provide additional support to the Ukrainian government and our Friendship City, Kyiv, for humanitarian purposes. During a recent meeting with Mr. Oleksandr Shevchenko, Consul General of Ukraine in Toronto, a request for assistance from the City of Toronto was made to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Kyiv. Since 1991, Toronto and Kyiv have been friendship cities, remaining in close contact, and celebrating our 30th anniversary of friendship in 2021.
