Cllrs Helen Foster-Grime and Mark Roberts attended an event at our town hall on Saturday to reaffirm our support for the people of Ukraine, after the illegal Russian invasion in 2022.
The event marked 3 years since the beginning of the war, and was organised by the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain. Cllrs Foster-Grime and Roberts were joined by a number of other councillors from across party lines.
Deputy Leader of the Council, Cllr Mark Roberts said,
“Our message on Saturday was one of unity and support with the Ukrainian people, who every day will see their loved ones and their homes put in appalling danger in the name of Russian expansionism.”
“The Liberal Democrats on a national level are very clear that the UK must stand up alongside our allies against Russia, to protect the self-determination of the Ukrainian people- especially given the worrying statements from the President of the United States. On a local level, there are hundreds of Ukrainian refugees that have been sponsored by families in Stockport since Putin’s invasion in 2022 and we are proud to have welcomed so many into our community.”
