Oxford's Russian twin town Perm has been officially removed from the welcome sign.
The city council made the move to strike it from the sign after ending their twinning agreement last Friday due to public pressure.
Oxford and Perm had been twinned since 1995.
Tensions between the UK and Russia have been running high since Putin made the decision to invade Ukraine.
This war has been raging for nearly two weeks, with a huge humanitarian crisis unfolding in Ukraine as Russian bombs kill civilians and make it hard to get aid to those in need.
On ending the link, Leader of the City Council Susan Brown said: "Our Lord Mayor wrote in strong terms to the Mayor of Perm condemning the invasion. We haven’t received a response to that letter.
"With the situation escalating and many thousands of lives being lost, we are, with a heavy heart, taking action to end our twinning agreement until such time as Russia’s appalling breaches of international law cease."
