The White House has finally lifted weapons restrictions on Ukraine and granted permission for ATACMS to be used to strike critical military targets in Russia. President Biden deserves thanks for taking this important decision and untying Ukraine’s hands. Now, Ukraine can threaten the 250+ key military sites in Russia within range of ATACMS, stressing Russian logistics and hitting the sites from which missiles and drones are launched. This will also send a message to North Korea that its decision to send troops and join Russia’s war in Europe will be met with consequences.![]()
Expedite military assistance to Ukraine![]()
President Biden has committed to using over $4 billion in remaining Presidential Drawdown Authority to provide military assistance to Ukraine before his term ends on January 20. However, logistics challenges may prevent complete delivery during his administration. To strengthen Ukraine, the Biden administration must take extraordinary measures in the remaining time.![]()

In April 2024, Congress passed the REPO Act, directing the president to transfer more than $5 billion in frozen Russian state assets in the U.S. to a Ukraine Support Fund. Instead, President Biden has protected these assets and partially backed a loan to Ukraine. To fulfill his commitment and #MakeRussiaPay, he should:![]()
⠀![]()
1. Declassify the report on the total amount of frozen Russian assets, believed to be much higher than the reported $5 billion.![]()
2. Transfer these frozen Russian assets to an international Ukraine Support Fund to ensure they benefit Ukraine and prevent a return to Moscow.![]()

Дякуємо всім, що приєдналися до нас вчора для вшанування пам’яті голодомору. Ми зобов’язані невинним жертвам, яких заморили голодом… ніколи не забути. Вічна їм пам’ять. Thank you to all who joined us yesterday to commemorate the Ukrainian famine-genocide of 1932-33, Holodomor. We owe it to the innocent victims who were starved to death…never to forget. May their memory be eternal. ![]()

In the Fall of 1932 the Soviet Ukrainian countryside had been harvested, the grain shipped to markets, it was a bountiful harvest. There were no droughts. But the harvest was so thorough there was nothing left for the people themselves to eat. ![]()
![]()
By that Fall, Ukraine had already been purged of writers, historians, poets, artists, professors, scientists, journalists and political leaders who expressed Ukrainian patriotism. They were arrested, deported, murdered, jailed, and silenced, so that they could not come to the defense of ordinary people who had no voice. Stalin knew that Ukrainians were going to be a problem. They were much too independent and bent on democracy. He was intent on exterminating as many as possible by any means possible. That meant destroying our language, culture, and way of life, and terrorizing whoever was left, into submission.![]()

Much information about the Holodomor has been uncovered since the dismantling of the Soviet Union. The truth was covered up by the ruthless regime by suppressing freedom, by punishing people for even saying the word “famine.” The Soviet government closed the borders and people could not travel freely. ![]()

Як і сьогодні, Росія століттями намагається знищити Україну, крадучи нашу історію, пригноблюючи наш народ, влаштовуючи геноциди, поширюючи пропаганду, дезінформацію та брехню.![]()

Ми не можемо просто сидіти склавши руки і дивитися, як Україна страждає. Будь ласка, допоможіть. Ось три прості способи допомогти:![]()
(1) Пожертвуйте кошти. UCAO збирає кошти для закупівлі та відправки життєво важливих турнікетів нашим надійним партнерам в Україні, які доставляють їх медичним працівникам на передовій.![]()
(2) Допоможіть нам у зборі коштів: реєструйтеся як волонтери, коли ми шукаємо людей для роботи в наших мобільних магазинах, особливо в цей святковий сезон. Допоможіть нам знаходити нові шляхи для збору коштів та організовувати ці заходи. Вони не тільки збирають кошти, але й підвищують обізнаність про постійну боротьбу України серед наших американських сусідів тут, у Колумбусі, сприяючи діалогу та єднанню у нашій громаді.![]()
(3) Виступайте на підтримку України перед обраними представниками влади: телефонуйте їм, пишіть їм, повідомляйте, що у них є виборці, які підтримують Україну. Допоможіть їм зрозуміти, що вільна і демократична Україна — це найкращий спосіб забезпечити свободу і безпеку Сполучених Штатів. Слідкуйте за нами в соціальних мережах для отримання додаткової інформації.![]()

Today, russia continues to try to eliminate Ukraine, as it has been trying for hundreds of years, stealing our history, oppressing our people, engineering genocides, spreading propaganda, misinformation, and lies. ![]()

We cannot sit idly by and watch Ukraine suffer. Please help. Here are three straightforward ways:![]()
(1) Donate money. UCAO raises money to purchase and ship life-saving tourniquets to our trusted partners in Ukraine who distribute them to frontline medics. ![]()
(2) Help us fundraise: sign up when we call for volunteers to staff our pop-up shops, especially this holiday season, help us figure out other ways to fundraise, and help us organize those events. They not only raise money but raise awareness of the ongoing struggle in Ukraine, to our American neighbors here in Columbus, promoting dialogue and connection within our community. ![]()
(3) Advocate for Ukraine to your elected government officials: call them, write to them, let them know they have constituents that care about Ukraine. Help them understand how a free and democratic Ukraine is the best way to ensure freedom and security for the United States. Follow us on social media for more information.![]()
