This was reported by the Head of the Donetsk Regional State Administration and Chief of the Regional Military Administration, Vadym Filashkin.
An important moment for Donetsk region — the signing of a Memorandum of Friendship and Cooperation between Donetsk region and the state of Connecticut!
“This is yet another clear signal of support for Donetsk region and all of Ukraine in our fight for freedom.
Governor Ned Lamont, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, Congressman John Larson, and leaders of U.S. sister cities clearly articulated our shared values and their readiness to continue supporting our communities.
We had the opportunity to hold constructive discussions with representatives of the state of Connecticut, and our community leaders met with their counterparts.
I am grateful to the representatives of Weston, Fairfield, Westport, Ridgefield, Easton, and Stamford for their support and tangible assistance. I hope that the cooperation we have initiated will only deepen further!
Thanks to Ukraine Aid International and its branch in Ukraine for their active role in developing these ties.
I believe that the partnership with Connecticut will be a worthy continuation of more than 30 years of Ukrainian-American friendship,” emphasized Vadym Filashkin.
