The city of Cleveland said Northeast Ohio is ready to accept any refugees “fleeing persecution and war,” just like the region has done before, as Russia continues a military invasion in Ukraine.
Thursday from the city of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and Global Cleveland:
“With the invasion of Russian Federation military forces into Ukraine, The City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and Global Cleveland reaffirm our commitment to democracy and peace, as well as extend our prayers to the communities impacted by this violence. We strongly condemn this attack that will result in the loss of innocent lives and is a direct threat to the freedom of so many.
In a sign of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, the country’s flag was raised outside of the Cleveland City Hall.
