Why is this important?
Bristol supports Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. Now more than ever, we need to demonstrate our resolute support for the Ukrainian people in one of their darkest hours.
Around 1,000 Ukrainians currently call Bristol home – many of them, mainly women and children, sought refuge in the United Kingdom after Russia started its full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
We can show our support by twinning with a Ukrainian city. Odesa, the pearl of south Ukraine, has much in common with Bristol – two UNESCO recognised port cities with renowned heritage and multicultural communities. It is a clear choice for twinning with our city.
Bristolians have already sought practical support for Ukraine; dozens of lorries worth of aid has been delivered, and Avon Fire and Rescue is donating two surplus fire engines to their Odesan counterparts. Twinning would strengthen our two cities’ relationship even further.
Bristol has not twinned with another city for almost 25 years – it is time to twin with Odesa to show our support for the Odesan and Ukrainian people.
