Ukraine can win this war and you can help

Our aims are:

▪ A sovereign Ukrainian state with territorial integrity and democratic politics.

▪ An enforceable peace settlement to prevent subsequent invasions of Ukraine.

▪ Minimizing loss of life, particularly of civilians, and providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine and support for refugees.

what we are asking for

EXPEDITED MILITARY AID

The Russian military is bombarding residential areas and targeting civilians and evacuation zones. Incompletely or belatedly meeting Ukraine’s military needs increases the risk of a long and bloody war of attrition with high civilian casualties, war crimes, and genocide.

 

▪ Ukraine needs both ground and air-based platforms capable of intercepting or destroying Russian missiles, rockets, and artillery rounds, in addition to pledged aid.

 

▪ The Ukrainian government has also requested the provision of additional weaponry including fighter jets, tanks, and long range weapons systems.

 

▪ The U.S. must work with allies to supply existing systems and open up procurement channels. Joint US-Ukrainian funding and US backfilling would bolster this effort.

SANCTIONS

In addition to general yet severe sanctions on the Russian economy, sanctions should be focused on parallel strategies:

 

Military complex sanctions. Severe sanctions on military technology trade, raw materials, energy, as well as on the financial sector will help incapacitate the Russian war machine. Less than 2% of Russia’s 300+ banks are currently on the U.S. Treasury’s SDN list.

 

Sanctions segmentation. Pre-announced personal sanctions and asset seizures, when paired with clearly articulated methods to avoid sanctions and pathways to defections, can change the Russian elite’s incentive structure and split Putin’s oligarchs and senior officials. 

CHEMICAL WEAPONS PROTECTION

 

The U.S. must articulate specific, proportionate, and severe responses in the event that Russia uses chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Additional protective equipment and supplies must be provided.

MEDICAL SUPPLIES

 

Bulk orders (>300,000) of basic individual first aid kits (IFAKs) are the most pressing medical need.

STATE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM

 

The U.S. must designate Russia a State Sponsor of Terrorism.

‼️ Majority Leader Schumer has stated that a Senate vote on a funding package that includes aid to Ukraine, will come as soon as the week of December 4th. 
We need your help to make sure members of Congress pass this CRITICAL funding package for Ukraine. Please call & email your member and tell them to vote yes by visiting the link bit.ly/UASupplemental

The United States is not alone in supporting Ukraine — in fact, 19 other countries have committed more of their GDP per capita to help than the U.S. has. Aid for Ukraine has some of the strictest oversight and accountability mechanisms of any U.S. foreign aid, and this supplemental funding will be no different. Giving Ukraine the tools it needs to finish the fight is the right thing to do to prevent more Russian atrocities. 

Please help us win the fight in Congress by telling your Member of Congress to support Supplemental Funding for Ukraine!

I hope Ohio is watching which candidates for the US Senate are supporting funding for the defense of Ukraine. Bernie Moreno: “Let me answer crystal clear: absolutely no more money for Ukraine period,” Westlake entrepreneur Bernie Moreno insisted." Matt Dolan: State Sen. Matt Dolan, R-Chagrin Falls, on the other hand, argued forcefully for continued support... Dolan insisted what happens in Ukraine matters in the U.S. and in Ohio specifically. “It controls 25% of the world’s wheat — do you want higher food prices?” Dolan asked “Do you want higher gas prices? Do you want our allies to have Russia at their border deciding where they buy their gas and oil?” “If you want to talk to a farmer in Ohio, and ask them whether Ukraine means anything to them,” he added, “ask them how much they have been paying in fertilizer prices since this tragedy started.” ohiocapitaljournal.com/2023/10/16/ohios-republican-u-s-senate-candidates-clash-over-foreign-polic...

November 20th is World Children’s Day, which commemorates the U.N. Declaration of the Rights of the Child. 

Meanwhile, every day, Ukraine is witnessing the violation of this convention by Russia that imposed war on Ukraine and its children by killing, kidnapping and reeducating Ukrainian youth, as well as shelling schools and hospitals, leaving children displaced and deprived of appropriate care.

🙏 On this day, we ask our community to support the children of Ukraine by:

- Calling your Representatives, if you are in the U.S., and asking to vote for the H. Res.149 / S. Res.158 condemning the abduction of Ukrainian children
- Supporting Razom Health that provides psychological help to children in Ukraine 
- Donating to Razom Relief that supports children of Ukrainian veterans and sponsors travel for talented Ukrainian students

Last week, the delegation of Ukrainian faith leaders brought to the United States by Razom and partners, were pleased to be hosted by the Ecclesia Christian community in Houston, Texas for a night of appreciation and fellowship. 🙌

At this event, members of the community come together to express heartfelt gratitude to those who have supported Ukraine. Local medical professionals, who have dedicated their time and effort to helping Ukraine, were given special recognition. 🇺🇦

We were honored to be joined by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee as a surprise guest.

Razom, in cooperation with Nova Ukraine, HTX4Ukraine and MedGlobal, hosted a delegation of distinguished religious leaders from the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (UCCRO) for advocacy programming in Washington, D.C. and Houston, Texas. UCCRO, one of the largest nonprofits in Ukraine, represents over 95% of religious communities in Ukraine, spanning various faiths, including Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities. 
 
During their visit, the delegation engaged in a series of meetings with U.S. government officials, church counterparts, local communities, and media outlets, while also attending a range of public events. The delegation provided information on the state of religious freedoms in Ukraine and highlighted Russia’s disinformation efforts. They also exchanged insights with their U.S. counterparts, shedding light on how Ukrainian religious communities have responded to Russias invasion and the profound impact of Russias aggression on religious life within Ukraine. The visit highlighted the unity and diversity of Ukrainian religious communities in the face of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
 
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of our partners and friends for engaging with the UCCRO delegation last week. Thank you for demonstrating your unwavering support for Ukraine. 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇲

We are pleased to announce that a delegation from the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (UCCRO), representing 95% of all religious communities in Ukraine, is visiting Washington, D.C., and Houston, Texas from October 28th to November 5th. 🙌

This trip, organized by Razom with support from Nova Ukraine, HTX4Ukraine, and MedGlobal, provides the delegates with the opportunity to share details about the state of religious freedom in Ukraine, how religious communities across Ukraine have responded to Russias invasion, and the toll that Putins aggression has taken on religious life in Ukraine. The delegation includes over 15 religious leaders from Jewish, Muslim, Crimean Tatar, Evangelical, and Orthodox communities. 

On October 30th, the United States Institute of Peace, the Atlantic Council, and Razom for Ukraine hosted a conversation with the UCCRO delegation, moderated by former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.
