Support for the Ukrainian Community Support for the Ukrainian Community
WHEREAS, the people of Ukraine are endangered by unprovoked attacks on the free
and independent sovereignty of their nation by Russian President Putin; and
WHEREAS, the terrorism Russia is perpetrating on the Ukraine is not only damaging
to international diplomacy, order and human rights, it also brings immediate and lasting
damage to Russian interests across the world and to the citizens of Russia who will
suffer most from worldwide sanctions; and
WHEREAS, the people of Tigard join in offering solace and support to our Ukrainian
friends, neighbors and family members worrying about their people and their country;
and
WHEREAS, the leadership of Russia has engaged in a direct and intentional violation
of human rights and should be held responsible for the loss of human life and loss of
property resulting from these reprehensible actions; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the City of Tigard City Council does hereby
proclaim its support for all who are threatened and impacted by Russia's illegal
attack on the peace, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
We join City Councils and community members across Washington County, the
State of Oregon and the United States of America in condemning Russia's
aggression.
Our thoughts are with Ukraine and Ukrainians everywhere.
Dated this 81'day of March, 2022
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the
City of Tigard to be affixed.
