Their influence is evident in various aspects of Florida's social and economic landscape, including arts, culture, and religious institutions.

The resolution highlights the importance of the Ukrainian Festival in Orlando, which serves as a celebration of Ukrainian heritage and a symbol of the state's ethnic diversity.
