"We see on television all that has been endured by your people with images of the wounded, the displaced, and their suffering. We will keep eternally in our memories those people who have lost their lives in this unjust war and will pray for the repatriation of all those who have fled the country."
The City Council also lit up the Council House and Market Cross in the colours of the Ukrainian flag in support of the people of Ukraine.
