Connecticut has signed a sister-state agreement with a province in eastern Ukraine that’s been the site of heavy fighting since the Russian military invasion in 2022.

Governor Ned Lamont said at the signing ceremony on Thursday that the agreement will foster social, cultural, economic, humanitarian, and educational exchanges.

He said it would encourage cooperation between the people of Connecticut and the people of the Ukrainian province of Donetsk Oblast.

“I see the incredible pressure they are under every day by the Soviet onslaught. And we want to make sure the people know that we are standing with them,” Lamont said.

“This may be symbolic in terms of cultural and economic, but I think it’s more than that, it reminds people we are there with you,” he said
