Thank you Rep. Greg Landsman for your work to return Ukrainian children !

Justice for Ukrainian Children Act Introduced 🇺🇦
Thank you to Senator Tim Kaine and Representatives James Walkinshaw, Don Bacon, Greg Landsman, and Brian Fitzpatrick for introducing the bipartisan Justice for Ukrainian Children Act.
Russia's systemic abduction and indoctrination of Ukrainian children is an indisputable war crime, and it's happening at a staggering scale.
The numbers:
📍 At least 20,610 children forcibly relocated to Russia, with the real number estimated at over 200,000.
📍 1.6 million more living under Russian occupation.
📍 Sent to re-education camps. Militarized. Stripped of their Ukrainian identity. Boys conscripted, once of age, to fight against their own homeland.
📍 Ukraine has rescued over 2,400 children. Countless more remain in captivity.
What this bill does:
⚡ Appropriates $15 million to identify, locate, and rescue abducted children.
⚡ Requires that information be shared with Europol, Ukraine's Ministry of Justice, and Ukrainian civil society organizations.
⚡ Sanctions the Russian officials responsible for these forced transfers.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Action Summit Fall 2026 — Day 3 in Washington, D.C.

Day 3 was all about advocacy on Capitol Hill!

Our Ohio delegation met with congressional offices from across the state, including the office of U.S. Representative Greg Landsman, representing the Cincinnati area, and U.S. Senator Jon Husted. Members of our delegation also joined constituents from other Ohio congressional districts to support their meetings and advocate together for Ukraine.

One of our main topics was the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 and the importance of increasing economic pressure on Russia.

We also learned firsthand how the legislative process can be more complicated than simply voting “yes” or “no” on a bill.

Yesterday, the House voted on the rule — a procedural measure that determines how legislation will be considered on the House floor. This was not yet the final vote on the sanctions bill itself. Some representatives who opposed the procedural rule may still support the underlying sanctions legislation when it comes to a final vote.

The rule passed 214–211, clearing the way for the House to consider the legislation.

Today, attention turns to the sanctions bill itself.

The legislation seeks to increase economic pressure on Russia, including measures targeting Russia’s energy sector, its shadow fleet and sanctions evasion, as well as countries and entities that continue helping finance Russia’s war through Russian energy purchases.

For us, these meetings were an important reminder of why advocacy matters. We came to Washington to speak with our representatives, ask questions, understand where they stand, and make sure Ukraine remains part of the conversation on Capitol Hill.

🇺🇦 We continue to stand with Ukraine and advocate for a just and lasting peace.

🇺🇦 Day 2 of the Ukrainian Summit was very productive!

We received valuable training on how to effectively advocate for Ukraine and how to communicate our message to members of Congress.

One of the main topics we will be discussing in our meetings on Capitol Hill is stronger economic pressure on Russia, including:

🔹 Sanctions — strengthening restrictions that limit Russia’s ability to finance and sustain its war against Ukraine.

🔹 Economic impact — explaining how coordinated international pressure can weaken Russia’s resources while increasing the cost of continuing its aggression.

🔹 Tariffs — using trade measures to put additional pressure on Russia and countries that continue supporting or financing its war economy.

We will take what we learned directly to Congress. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

We are here to advocate, educate, and make sure Ukraine’s voice continues to be heard.

Before the show, we caught Oleg Skrypka for a quick photo. When we arrived at the venue, he was quietly doing a soundcheck—humble, calm, and completely focused on the upcoming performance.

He is such a warm and genuine person, and we were very happy to meet him!

It was an incredible performance. Thank you to the organizers and everyone who came to support the event.

And once again, thank you for your generous donations. Every contribution brings us one step closer to helping people in Ukraine receive the prostheses they need. 💙💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for an unforgettable evening with the legendary Ukrainian musician Oleg Skrypka! 🇺🇦

We are especially grateful to everyone who donated. Whether it was $1, $5, $100, or any other amount—every contribution matters. Together, you are helping us raise funds for our prosthetics project in Ukraine. We will continue to keep you updated on this important initiative.

One of the most powerful moments happened near the end of the evening. Just as Oleg Skrypka invited everyone to sing the Ukrainian national anthem, the power suddenly went out across the area, leaving us in complete darkness.

But we kept singing.

It felt incredibly symbolic: even when darkness comes, Ukrainians continue to sing. We continue to stand together. And we continue to believe in the light. 💙💛

Thank you for being part of this meaningful evening. Enjoy the video!
