Canterbury-Bankstown Mayor Khal Asfour said it is a small gesture to show our support to the people affected by the bloody invasion in Ukraine.
“And what a gesture to have the flag delivered to me by the honorary Consul of Ukraine in Sydney, Jaroslav Duma OAM,” Mayor Asfour said.
“As I was raising the flag, a Ukrainian woman passing by with her two grandsons, stopped to share the special moment and thank me for showing support.
“She told me that her family are currently in Ukraine, but have been granted visas and will be joining her soon.
“My heart goes out to all those affected.”
