Bay Area leaders step up condemnations of Russia as Ukraine invasion intensifies

As President Joe Biden addressed the nation during his State of the Union speech on America’s response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine, condemnations of the invasion continued to roll in this week from Bay Area and state officials.

A bill was introduced in the state Legislature on Monday to divest of Russian investments. Later that same day, the San Jose City Council announced that City Hall would be illuminated with the colors of the Ukrainian flag nightly through Sunday.
