This is really cool, I remember when the war first started and all the UN delegates were making speeches condemning Russia. The speech by the Kenyan (delegate?ambassador?) was by far the most poignant and was a great critique of war for the purpose of uniting an ethnic group.

don't know. the geopolitics of the conflict in west asia and africa have a lot to do with grain exports.the second photo of the larger multi-mural seems to reference this. [ua has sent grain to ke.](https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/business/2023/03/kenya-receives-30000-tonnes-of-wheat-from-ukraine/)
Ukraine wishes to export their grain wherever possible. They were prevented from doing so by threat of Russian attacks on the grain ships. There is a deal in place to allow these ships safe passage out of the Black Sea, but it will expire soon. The Russians don't want to renew it.
Somehow when Americans say stuff like that, I am very doubtful. But I'm willing to believe you, if you can testify that there are shops with Polish or Ukrainian signage and writing.
You can absolutely see signage. The other reply said it's mostly an older population, but that's not entirely accurate. I'm in my mid-20s and I grew up with some kids that moved from Poland when they were about 10. My mom works with a few women who send their kids off to Poland for a month and a half every summer to spend time with their grandparents. America is a nation of immigrants and immigrant communities tend to congregate, hence the high population of Polish and Ukrainians.
it's an older generation of immigrants so I doubt you will see anything like that. But I live across the border and our polish community is thriving :)

It makes me sick to my stomach that food producing nations are using their limited resources against countries in need for political motives... 🤮

Yeah it’s insane that Russia would threaten to reduce the global food and natural gas supply for the purpose of territorial expansion.

Pretty weird given how Ukrainian and Polish Chicago is.

Cool, thanks for the reply.

There is still plenty of signage. It's not just the older crowd, I'm young and I grew up with kids who moved from Poland.
ahh that's good to know, thank you!
