Cr Cameron's motion would have the Ukrainian national flag flown in place of the Albury City flag for two calendar months, or a longer period if council so determined.

"A number of councils have already done this across Australia and the Ukrainian people are obviously in a very difficult position. There are many people in the Border region of Ukrainian descent," he said.

"We want the Ukrainian people and those people of Ukrainian descent to know that we show solidarity for their trouble."

Albury Council chief executive Frank Zaknich recommended councillors vote to display the Ukrainian flag for a temporary period.

"It will be displayed alongside the Australian national flag, followed by the NSW state flag and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags. The Albury City ensign will be temporarily removed from the Kiewa Street council chambers entrance flag display," Mr Zaknich said.

"If endorsed by council, the date for display will commence immediately following acquisition of the Ukrainian flag and remain for a period of two calendar months from that date or as otherwise determined by council.

"A Ukrainian national flag can be procured at a nominal cost, which can be accommodated within existing governance or events operating budgets.
