Eastern Washington Congressional Candidate Bajun Mavalwalla | Message to Russian/Ukrainians in WA05

While most folks in Eastern Washington are aware that there are a lot of Ukrainians living in the district, they are often surprised when I tell them that there are 40,000 Ukrainians and another 10,000 Russian speakers who also call the district their home.
К сожалению я не говорю по-украински. I learned basic Russian at the Army’s Defense Language Institute, graduating in 1989. Unfortunately, I don’t speak Ukrainian. But I have been there many times—including under Russian rocket fire—and I support full military aid to Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Slava Ukraini
