Capitol Lighted in Solidarity with Ukraine

(Jefferson City, MO) Missouri Governor Mike Parson is ordering the State Capitol dome to shine blue and yellow, the colors of the Ukrainian national flag, in solidarity with the people of Ukraine as they defend their country and democracy against Russian invasion. Parson said. "In the face of unprovoked Russian aggression, Ukrainians refuse to back down or cower to a dictator. Missouri stands with, and supports, Ukraine as the world again learns that freedom is not free." The capitol dome was lit Tuesday night and pictures of the dome lighting are available on Governor Parson's Flickr page.
