LOS ANGELES—A motion to begin the process of adopting Kyiv, Ukraine, as a Los Angeles sister city—which would allow LA to send Kyiv retired goods such as fire trucks and ambulances—will be considered by the City Council Friday.
The motion, presented by Councilman Joe Buscaino, acknowledges that it is “literally the last thing on the minds of the leaders of Kyiv”—but it calls for initiating the sister city process now as a sign of support for the Ukrainian capital amid Russia’s invasion.
