15.	Debates - The Invasion of Ukraine PDF 96 KB 15.1 To be moved by Councillor J Mutton and seconded by Councillor T Khan: Coventry City Council condemns without reservation the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Government, led by President Putin. Our thoughts and solidarity are with the Ukrainian people. This war is a war brought about by Putin and is a war against democracy. Our thoughts are also with those brave Russian people who are protesting and demonstrating against Putin’s actions, despite the penalties they themselves face for daring to stand up and be counted. We will be keeping our lines of communication with our twin City of Volgograd. Our Friendship and Twinning links are with Cities and their people, not with their National Governments. Keeping our lines of communication open could allow us to raise our concerns with our Twin City about the actions that are being taken in their name by their Government. This Council supports the suspension of all cultural, educational and sporting exchanges with Russia Furthermore, Coventry City Council vow to be part of any refugee dispersal programme for refugees coming to the UK from Ukraine., and we urge the Government to bring forward revised policies to allow any Ukrainian fleeing the war to enter the UK without bureaucratic barriers. This Council pledges support to all those communities affected by this war as we will continue to be the City of Peace and Reconciliation, and a City of Sanctuary. 15.2 To be moved by Councillor G Ridley and seconded by Councillor P Male: “In light of the recent unprovoked Russian aggression against Ukraine this Council resolves to: · Suspend the twinning link with Volgograd and instructs the Leader to write to the Mayor of Volgograd explaining why · Ask the Mayor of Volgograd to issue a statement condemning this illegal invasion of Ukraine, an independent sovereign state, and do all that he can to bring to an end this military offensive (or military operation) that has caused so much suffering and loss of life · Support and welcome Ukrainian refugees to the city · Work with other local authorities to explore the possibility of entering twining arrangements with cities in Ukraine” Additional documents: Webcast for 15.
