Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that New York State landmarks will be lit blue and yellow tonight, February 25 through Sunday, February 27, in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. New York remains engaged with the Biden administration and is prepared to support refugees of the crisis and welcome them to the state.
“New York is the proud home of the largest Ukrainian population in the United States and we condemn the unjust and unconscionable violence being perpetrated against the people of Ukraine,” Governor Hochul said. “We stand in solidarity with those in New York who are scared for their family and loved ones, and our prayers are with the innocent victims as they fight to maintain their freedom as a sovereign people and nation.”
