Former Presidents George W. Bush and Clinton visited a Ukrainian church in Chicago on Friday, laying down flowers in a show of solidarity with the nation.

A video shared by the George W. Bush Presidential Center shows the 42nd and 43rd presidents each carrying yellow sunflowers in their hands, wrapped in blue and yellow cloth to represent the Ukrainian flag.

The presidents placed the flowers outside of the Saints Volodymyr and Olha Catholic Church in Chicago, which is home to the second-largest Ukrainian population in the U.S., ABC 7 Chicago reported.

Chicago is considered the sister city to Ukraine's capitol, Kyiv. The Ukrainian Village where Bush and Clinton visited, has deep and historic roots for the Ukrainian population, according to the Ukrainian National Museum.
