Melbourne Cuts Sister City Ties With St. Petersburg
According to local news reports, authorities in the Australian city of Melbourne have revoked the mutual Sister City status with Russia’s St. Petersburg.
The decision was prompted by a protest held by Ukrainians in the second-most populous city in Australia, who demanded Melbourne breaks ties with its Russian counterpart.
Melbourne and St Petersburg established the partnership in 1989 when the Russian city was still known as Leningrad and before the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
