Unfortunately, the brave men and women of Ukraine continue defending not only their homeland, but defending democracy against tyranny, as russia continues bombing indiscriminately, and pushing their false narratives. And our support for Ukraine must not falter.
UCCA extends our sincere gratitude to all of our supporters. Your generous donations have allowed us to provide a substantial amount of assistance, as you will read in the attached report.
When russia unleashed its unprovoked, barbaric war against Ukraine, it violated every international law -- smashing the post-World War II European security architecture. Since February 24, 2022, the brave men and women of Ukraine have been standing on the frontlines of democracy, defending all of Europe from russia’s advancing tyranny. The toll has been staggering for Ukraine – thousands have been killed, over 6.5 million have fled to the safety of other countries, 8 million are internally displaced and over 16,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped from their families and trafficked into russia – creating the largest humanitarian crisis Europe has seen since WWII.
To meet the humanitarian challenges, the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), the largest umbrella organization representing the interests of the nearly 2 million Americans of Ukrainian descent, launched a nationwide fundraising campaign to help provide relief for the growing number of those in need and to coordinate vital humanitarian assistance with various organizations on the ground. Over the past three years, thanks to the public’s trust in and financial support of UCCA’s #SupportUkraine program, we have been able to leverage 10x that amount in assistance delivered – resulting in distributing over $50million in humanitarian aid, medical support and non-lethal assistance. UCCA prides itself in the fact that our aid quickly reaches those in need - nothing is held up in storage and no middlemen. Having a presence in Ukraine for decades, UCCA only works with long-standing, trusted and vetted partners.
We are proud of our deliverables, and the direct impact this aid has had on tens of thousands of lives in Ukraine. However, Ukrainians are still standing on the frontlines defending our shared American and Ukrainian democratic values, and they deserve our continued support. If we fail to help Ukraine in this fight today, tomorrow it will be a failure for us all.
