UTAH NEW DISPATCH | July 12, 2024
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits Utah for National Governors Association meeting, thanks Utah delegation for visiting his war-torn country in 2023 while inviting other states to follow.
…Also in attendance for Zelenskyy’s speech was Nick Fowler, director of operations at August Mission, a Utah-based humanitarian nonprofit that was among the first to respond to Ukraine after Russia’s invasion. Fowler said he appreciated Zelenskyy’s open invitation to his country as well as his message that the war is a “human tragedy” that should unite people.
“Human suffering is at the heart of it,” Fowler said. “If everyone can just put (political fighting) aside and just think about how they can help.”
Fowler said seeing Zelenskyy in Utah was a “proud moment,” while thinking back on how Utah’s relationship with Ukraine has strengthened over the past year.
“To see that come full circle … That relationship is going to continue,” Fowler said. “It’s great.”
