The world stands united against an inexcusable invasion of a sovereign nation. Glad I was able to help make this happen so that all of us can display our community's support for the Ukrainian people."

The water tower in downtown Celina is also lit up to show of support for the people of Ukraine.

The City lit the tower blue and yellow on Saturday night and plans to keep doing it through Saturday, March 5.

Our desire is to show them and the world that this community supports them, and we assure them that we will be praying for their safety and a swift end to this conflict."
