Between May 24 and May 26, 2025, Russia launched its most intense aerial assaults on Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. Over three consecutive nights, Russian forces deployed approximately 900 drones and more than 70 missiles, including ballistic and cruise types, targeting multiple Ukrainian cities and regions. The attacks resulted in at least 14 civilian deaths and over 70 injuries, with significant damage reported in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Zhytomyr. Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted a majority of the incoming threats, downing 266 drones and 45 missiles on May 25 alone. The United States and its allies must respond with stronger, immediate sanctions. Every moment of hesitation fuels Russia’s war machine. It’s time to cut off the resources enabling this terror.

❗️ Call your Senators today and urge them to support the Grassley-Klobuchar Ukrainian Children Resolution. Tell them every day we wait is another day stolen from an innocent child!!!Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) introduced a bipartisan resolution condemning Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children and urging President Trump to demand their return.Having a Republican Senator lead this charge is a big deal—but we need to keep up the pressure. Ukraine’s children need every Senator to vote in favor of this resolution and your voice is critical to getting it across the finish line. Russia has abducted over 19,546 Ukrainian children—thousands taken from their homes and deported deep into Russia. Many of them are at grave risk. One thing should be clear: no peace deal can be made while Ukrainian children remain in Russian captivity! ... See MoreSee Less
