Thank Congress and President Biden for Providing Additional Support to Ukraine
Despite immense international pressure, Russia has continued to inflict its unconscionable and unjustified war against Ukraine. The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine grows worse by the day as more innocent civilians are displaced from their homes, starve in refugee camps, or are systematically murdered by the Russian military. American aid to Ukraine played a significant role in helping Ukraine win the battle in Kyiv, but this war is not over: We must maintain our commitment to supporting Ukraine. Jewish Dems thank President Biden for his strong leadership throughout this crisis and his unwavering support for Ukraine, as well as House and Senate Democrats for quickly meeting his urgent request for increased security and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Once again, Republicans played politics with this crisis and delayed the passage of emergency assistance to Ukraine when Republican Senator Rand Paul unilaterally blocked the funding in yet another instance of GOP obstruction. We thank House and Senate Democrats for their leadership in ensuring this critical aid to Ukraine was passed.
The Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act (H.R. 7691) will:
- Give Ukraine and its allies crucial military assistance such as additional artillery, armored vehicles, advanced air defense systems, and assistance to clear landmines;
- Provide life saving humanitarian aid to Ukrainian citizens and critical resources to address food security needs around the globe; and
- Support and strengthen Ukrainian democracy by providing the democratic Government of Ukraine with economic assistance.
Ukraine's fight for freedom is far from over. Sign here to thank President Biden and your members of Congress for passing this critical legislation to support Ukraine.
