Salomon to Introduce Resolution to Recognize and Support Ukrainian Americans on the Two-Year Anniversary of the Invasion of Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n

OLYMPIA<\/strong> \u2013Sen. Jesse Salomon (D-Shoreline) will introduce a resolution on Tuesday supporting Ukrainians on the two-year anniversary of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, the largest conflict in Europe since World War II, began a campaign of terror and destruction which upended the lives of Ukrainians and Ukrainian Americans.<\/p>\n

\u201cCivilians are being murdered in their homes, at the grocery store, on the street, while simply trying to live peacefully,\u201d Salomon said. \u201cOur state has one of the largest populations of Ukrainian immigrants in the country. Washington state has shown immense compassion, welcoming refugees and providing fundamental human needs such as food, housing, and mental health care to help them cope with the horrors they\u2019ve endured.\u201d<\/p>\n

Washington state is home to more than 60,000 Ukrainian Americans and has welcomed over 16,000 Ukrainian refugees since the war began.<\/p>\n

\u201cThousands of Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war have arrived in Washington seeking safety for their children and hoping to build a better life for themselves,\u201d said Galina Volchkova, Executive Director of Housing Services at the Volunteers of America Western Washington. \u201cSince May 2021, over eight hundred households in our Refugee Resettlement and Stabilization program are employed and self-sufficient. They are succeeding because of their resilience and because we offered timely access to resources, rental assistance, and job opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUkrainians and Ukrainian Americans in Washington have enriched our communities through their resilience, leadership, and culture,\u201d Salomon said. \u201cThe United States\u2019 support for Ukraine has helped the country to withstand Russia\u2019s assault abroad, and our support for Ukrainian refugees has helped them bear the immense physical and psychological toll of this war. I urge all of us here today to show our solidarity with the people of Ukraine who are fighting to preserve their peace, freedom, and democracy just as our great nation has done before.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
