Governor Tom Wolf said that Pennsylvania stands with Ukraine and he vowed to continue to take actions to support the country as it courageously endures a horrific, unjust invasion by Russia. The governor highlighted the steps he immediately took to sanction Russia, his support for fully divesting financially from Russia, and the commonwealth's open arms to Ukrainians fleeing conflict. "Frances and I have been watching the news and seeing the devastation being inflicted on the people of Ukraine. It is abundantly clear that the people of Ukraine are strong and united as a nation, but it is heartbreaking that they have been forced into this war - and forced to endure the loss, destruction and death that war brings - by Russia," Gov. Wolf said. "The people of Ukraine have shown immense courage and bravery, which should have never been necessary. Pennsylvania stands with Ukraine. I will do everything in my power to ensure Pennsylvania's support of Ukraine and also sever ties with Russia." Pennsylvania is home to more than 122,000 Ukrainians, the second most of any U.S. state. Speakers include: Governor Tom Wolf Iryna Mazur, Honorary Consul of Ukraine in Philadelphia David Briel, Executive Director, International Investment, DCED Office of International Business Development Viktor Kolesnyk, managing director of Orange Pavers
