Colorado Gov. Jared Polis joined with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday as he addressed the National Governors Association in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Since the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 22, 2022, by Russian troops, Polis and his administration have made an effort to support the country while condemning Vladimir Putin’s action.
“Colorado and the United States are proud partners in President Zelenskyy’s fight to protect Ukraine and Europe from dictator Vladimir Putin. Putin’s brutal and globally destabilizing war poses a grave threat to Ukraine, the global order, and the U.S. and its allies,” said Polis. “I thanked President Zelenskyy for his and Ukraine’s bravery in the face of Russian aggression.”
