As we mark the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the City of Toronto can provide additional support to the Ukrainian government and our Friendship City, Kyiv, for humanitarian purposes. During a recent meeting with Mr. Oleksandr Shevchenko, Consul General of Ukraine in Toronto, a request for assistance from the City of Toronto was made to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Kyiv. Since 1991, Toronto and Kyiv have been friendship cities, remaining in close contact, and celebrating our 30th anniversary of friendship in 2021. This motion provides authority for Fleet Services and Paramedic Services to donate up to five vehicles at end-of-life to Ukraine in 2024. These vehicles would add to the seven vehicles already provided to the Ukrainian government over the course of 2022 and 2023. The vehicles would be used to respond to emergency humanitarian situations in Ukraine.
