To mark the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Nottinghamshire County Council raised the Ukrainian flag at County Hall. The flag was raised on Friday morning (February 24) as a reminder that Nottingham stands with Ukraine.
The council’s chair, Councillor Roger Jackson, selected the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Sherwood as his good cause for the year. He explained that the council was reaffirming its support for the Ukrainian people and remembering the many sacrifices they have made over the last 12 months.
Cllr Jackson said: “On this poignant day, it is important we remember and support the Ukrainian people. Many have left behind their loved ones, homes and belongings to settle here as guests in Nottinghamshire.
