STATEMENT: From #Yonkers Mayor #MikeSpano
“As we approach the one year anniversary of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, I joined with our Ukrainian community here in Yonkers to continue to pray for peace, strength and reconciliation.
At Saint Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church, we reflected on the thousands of lives lost and pledged our support.
Yonkers stands with Ukraine.”

- Brian Harrod – STATEMENT: From #Yonkers Assemblyman Nader Sayegh
“Over the past year, our community has stood in solidarity with Ukrainians as they’ve shown tremendous resilience and resolve in the face of the horrors of unprovoked warfare.Yonkers and Westchester are home to some of the largest Ukrainian-American communities in the United States.
In fact, Yonkers has a designated sister city in Ternopil, a medium-sized city much like ours about an hour’s drive from Lviv.
It’s why my office stepped into action at the beginning of this conflict and worked alongside our Federal Representatives to ensure that Ukrainian Americans could remain in contact with their relatives in Ukraine as the situation grew increasingly unstable.
Many of these Ukrainian nationals have sought refuge in the United States, and have now become part of our communities.
As the conflict draws on, today we mourned the devastating humanitarian loss felt by Ukrainians as they continue to defend their homeland with a moment of silence across our region.
Yonkers and New York join freedom-loving people around the world as they pray for the swift conclusion of this unnecessary war.”
