On the initiative of Dario Nardella, President of Eurocities and Mayor of Florence, all mayors and cities are invited to join in this common embrace.

 

โ€œI take inspiration from my friend, Mayor of Marseille, Benoรฎt Payan. I propose that we invite local people, especially our Ukrainian and Russian communities, to link arms, or share a moment in front of or around our city halls,โ€ explains the mayor.

 

No specific time is set for the action. โ€œWe can do this at the time that works best for each of us on Saturday 12 March and I ask you to share your images on social media,โ€ says Nardella.

 

โ€œCity diplomacy breaks borders. Through networks like Eurocities, and through our city twinnings, we have built strong relationships. We know and trust each other. We have respect. When we offer solidarity, it is genuine and heartfelt.โ€

 

โ€œLetโ€™s ensure that in our own way we keep borders open, that we champion principles of democracy, and we demonstrate in whatever way we can a commitment to our fellow Europeans,โ€ added the mayor.

 

For social media the preferred usage will be: #CitiesWithUkraine

 

Already, around 50 cities have joined in to support the call.
