Gov. J.B. Pritzker noted his Ukrainian roots on Thursday while condemning Russia’s invasion of the eastern European nation, but he said everyone, regardless of origin, should oppose Vladimir Putin’s use of force.
“Whether you come from Ukraine, your family has descendants from Ukraine, or you’re just from anywhere else in the world but you’ve come to the United States — every American stands with the nation of Ukraine today, or should,” Pritzker said after a campaign event in Little Village.
