Ex-presidents Clinton and Bush make unannounced visit to Ukrainian Village church in Chicago

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush paid an unannounced visit to a Ukrainian Village church in Chicago earlier this week to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

The former presidents from opposite political parties posted videos of their visit to social media Friday, laying flowers at the steps of Saints Volodymyr & Olha Catholic Church, 739 N. Oakley Blvd.

The visit from Bush and Clinton came without any media notice or neighborhood fanfare. Video shows the two placing the flowers and pausing for a moment of reflection.
