Hours after Ukrainians Alex Len and Svi Mykhailiuk released a statement in support of their compatriots and condemning Russia’s invasion, the Nuggets and Kings observed a minute’s silence in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and the Sacramento kingpin .
Here is the text posted by the Raptors shooter and his compatriot.
” A great tragedy has befallen our dear homeland, Ukraine. We categorically condemn war. Ukraine is a peaceful sovereign state populated by people who want to decide their own destiny. We pray for our families, our friends, our loved ones and all the people who are on Ukrainian territory. We hope for an end to this terrible war as soon as possible. Dear Ukrainian compatriots, resist! Our strength is in unity! We are with you ! Alex Len & Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk”
