Santa Clara County leaders vote to terminate relationship with Russia
KRON-TV/SF
On Tuesday, the Santa Clara Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to terminate the County’s relationship with the governments of the region of Moscow, Russia, and the City of Moscow.
"What we are saying is that our government can't work with you until your government is treating humanity with the kind of dignity and respect that we all deserve," said Supervisor Cindy Chavez.
Since 1994, Santa Clara County has maintained a sister-county relationship with Moscow — in addition to Florence, Italy, and Hsinchu County, Taiwan, Republic of China.
"We ought to be thinking about how we can create and extend a partnership in a more formal way with Ukraine," said Chavez.
