Sister-City Kyiv?

 I just sent this e-mail to Mina Hashemi, Seattle's Director of Inter-governmental Relations and copied the Seattle city council. 

Let's use Seattle's long-time leadership in the Sister-City movement (having established our first, with Kobe, in 1957, and now having 19 sister-cities) to send a message to our and Ukraine’s leaders. Recruit and promote a Kviv Sister-City Association and establish sister-city agreements with Kyiv. 

The city put a moratorium on sister-city agreements back in 2019. Isn't it time to lift that and use our power to signal support of Ukraine and disagreement with the Trum/Vance tilt toward justifying Putin's rapacious war?

I am neither Ukrainian nor active in a Sister-City association, but I am willing to participate, support, or contribute in whatever way makes sense.
