The sister city designation would make it easier for LA to send goods like retired fire trucks and ambulances to the Ukrainian capital.
On March 8, the council unanimously approved a resolution to strongly condemn "the egregious actions of President Vladimir Putin for ordering the invasion of Ukraine."
The resolution -- which was led by Councilman Paul Koretz and introduced by five council members -- also includes a call for international or federal divestment of all holdings from and investments in Russia. It further condemns Putin's actions and those of any country that supports Russia, or supports publicly traded Russian companies, real estate or private equity.
Koretz introduced that resolution with Council President Nury Martinez, Councilwomen Monica Rodriguez and Nithya Raman, and Councilman Kevin de León.
