Emergency Aid to Ukraine

As the international community continues to hold Russia accountable for its unconscionable aggression and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, we are grateful for President Biden's steady and strong leadership, including his call for immediate increased emergency security and humanitarian aid to Ukraine and to Congress for answering his call.

Vladimir Putin must face harsh and painful consequences for his belligerent and violent actions, and JDCA stands with President Biden and supports the administration's efforts to oppose Putin and stop further Russian aggression through comprehensive and punitive economic sanctions. Standing with Ukraine requires not only deterring Russian aggression, but ensuring Ukrainians have the ability to support and defend themselves. Ukraine is experiencing an unimaginable humanitarian crisis that will continue for years to come. U.S. security and humanitarian assistance will supply critical aid to the citizens of Ukraine, of whom nearly 2 million have been displaced.  

Ukrainian President Zelensky asked the world for urgent military and humanitarian assistance. President Biden and Congress delivered by answering his call and continue to support Ukraine's freedom and democracy.

For months, JDCA has called on Congressional Republicans to negotiate with Democrats and pass a government funding package, which includes many of JDCA's priorities. Passing emergency aid to Ukraine as a part of government funding provided the Ukrainian people with much needed emergency aid.

Thank your members of Congress for standing with Ukraine and passing a government funding bill with life-saving aid to Ukraine.
