The Prime Minister praised Baths link with Oleksandriya, Ukraine after aid was sent. A concert supported the cities.
Ukraine’s ambassador thanked Bath after generators went to Oleksandriya. Bath made a deal with the city in 2023, highlighting that Oleksandriya’s size is similar to Bath’s.
A Ukrainian concert aided Oleksandriya and collected funds in Bath Abbey. The concert marked three years of war, and Wera Hobhouse spoke in Parliament, mentioning the strong city link.
She wants the government’s help to encourage more city links. Keir Starmer agreed with the idea, emphasizing that contact between people helps our understanding of Ukraine.
Hobhouse is happy with the Prime Minister’s support and praised Bath’s council. They helped create the friendship agreement, and Bath gave Ukraine important support. She wants other cities to create links.
Bath hosted over 380 Ukrainians with the Homes for Ukraine scheme. Kevin Guy said Bath stands with Ukraine and met with Ukrainian representatives before the concert at Bath Abbey. He says we must support Ukraine and defend democracy.
