Richmond News reader notes Russia was the aggressor in the war against Ukraine.

The City of Richmond has been flying the Ukrainian flag outside city hall since the war began almost two years ago.

Dear Editor,

Re: "Russian brothers question Ukrainian flag flying at Richmond city hall"

Regarding the complaint of flying the Ukrainian flag at city hall, as I recall Russia is the aggressor, invading a peaceful neighbouring country and causing the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians so they can gain sea ports, natural resources and agriculture - basically greed.

Ukrainians are defending themselves from that Russian aggression.

By flying the Ukrainian flag, we show our support for Ukraine defending itself.

We do not need to reward Russia or Russian ex-pats by flying their flag for their homeland's revolting naked aggression to its innocent neighbour.
