WESTPORT — Two of Westport’s top officials will discuss their recent visit to the town’s sister city in besieged Ukraine at a July 6 program in the Westport Library.

First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker and Police Chief Foti Koskinas will give a presentation on their tour of Lyman, a city near the frontlines of Ukraine’s battle with Russia, at 2 p.m. Thursday, July 6, in the library, 20 Jesup Road.

The program, co-sponsored by the Y’s Men of Westport/Weston, will be moderated by CNN correspondent Alisyn Camerota.

Tooker and Koskinas, joined by Easton First Selectman David Bindelglass, in May toured Lyman, Westport’s sister city, and  Sviatohirsk, Easton’s sister city, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, an area attacked by Russian forces last year.

The visit was facilitated by Ukraine Aid International, founded by Westport natives and brothers Brian and Marshall Mayer. 

UAI, which promoted the sister city relationships between Westport, Easton and and other American communities with Ukrainian counterparts, has organized donations of humanitarian aid and supplies to Ukraine since the start of the conflict.
