UUOhio would like to share President Zelensky's letter with our community and its many allies. It underscores that Ukraine is seeking a just and lasting peace. The Russian Federation hypocritically, does what it does best, slaughters civilians and engages in lies while pretending to seek a negotiated settlement.

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.

Congressman Don Bacon from Nebraska (R-2) who retired from the United States Air Force as a Brigadier General and is an expert on European geopolitics has been a consistent and vociferous advocate for protecting our United States by supporting Ukraine. He tells it like it is!

UUOhio expresses its heartfelt gratitude to Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-9) for being a driving force behind the approval of Ukraine Support Act (H.R.2913). Despite the political headwinds, Congresswoman Kaptur and allies shepherded the powerful bill through the discharge petition process and secured its passage.

Thank you Congresswoman Kaptur!

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Co-Founder and Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, Congressman Gregory Meeks, Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Steny Hoyer (MD-05), Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) Co-Chair of the Congress...

Dear Community Members, Friends and Allies,

Wonderful news!

The Ukraine Support Act H.R.2913 was approved by the House of Representatives this evening
(226 YES / 195 NO)

This is the first time in over two years that a standalone Ukraine bill has passed the House!!!

We are appreciative of all Ohio Congresspersons who voted for H.R. 2913.

In the end, more Ohio representatives (9/15 or 60%) voted to pass H.R.2913 than had supported procedural votes (6/15 or 40%) to advance it. Local advocacy helped.

The strength and breadth of H.R.2913 is impressive. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2913
We thank all of you who advocated on behalf of this bill. It will now advance to the Senate.

The battle is not over but the passage of H.R.2913 is a powerful signal to Putin, his administration and oligarchs that America continues to stand on the side of democracy and freedom and against aggression.

Now please contact (email / TEL / FAX etc.) the congressional representatives who just voted in favor of H.R. 2913 and offer a heartfelt THANK YOU!

Remember - only call or contact one of the representatives below if you reside in his or her district!

Here is an example but feel free to craft your own language!

Example: Dear Representative ###.

Thank you for voting to pass the Ukraine Support Act H.R.2913. This will impose significant sanctions on Russia and provide much needed relief for Ukraine. It will make it much more likely that the Russian Federation will accept a negotiated settlement that is favorable for Ukraine, good for Europe and great for our United States. Thank you!!!!!

Шановні члени громади, друзі та союзники!​​Маємо чудову новину!

Сьогодні ввечері Палата представників США схвалила Ukraine Support Act H.R.2913
(226 «ЗА» / 195 «ПРОТИ»).

Це вперше за понад два роки, коли окремий законопроєкт щодо України був ухвалений Палатою представників!

Ми вдячні всім конгресменам від штату Огайо, які проголосували за H.R.2913.

Зрештою, більше представників Огайо (9 із 15, 60%) проголосували за ухвалення H.R.2913, ніж підтримали процедурні голосування (6 із 15, 40%), необхідні для винесення законопроєкту на розгляд. Місцева адвокаційна робота дала результат.

Масштаб і сила H.R.2913 справді вражають:​https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2913

Ми дякуємо всім вам, хто виступав на підтримку цього законопроєкту. Тепер він буде переданий Сенату.

Боротьба ще не завершена, але ухвалення H.R.2913 є потужним сигналом Путіну, його адміністрації та олігархам, що Америка продовжує стояти на боці демократії та свободи й виступає проти агресії.

Тепер, будь ласка, зв’яжіться (електронною поштою, телефоном, факсом тощо) з тими членами Конгресу, які щойно проголосували за H.R.2913, та висловіть їм щиру ПОДЯКУ!

Пам’ятайте — звертайтеся лише до одного з представників, зазначених нижче, якщо ви проживаєте в його або її окрузі!​​https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Ці представники проголосували за ухвалення H.R.2913

UUOhio greets the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and wishes them a rewarding and productive Global Forum in Washington DC (05/31 – 06/02/26). This year marks 120 years since the inception of the AJC which though initially founded to defend the civil rights of Jewish Americans developed a strong commitment to social equality and protection of civil rights for all.

We thank the AJC for their consistent stance that protecting the sovereignty, territorial integrity and democracy of Ukraine is in the strong interest of our own United States. Our relationship with the AJC is based on shared values, a respect for basic human rights, the rule of law and a commitment to resolving differences through respectful negotiation. It is relationship that we value and never take for granted.

We are particularly grateful that the AJC invited President Zelensky to deliver a video address to this year’s Global Forum.

Freedom is never free!

On Memorial Day, we commemorate the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States of America. It is thanks to their sacrifice and valor that we enjoy the freedoms, security, and prosperity we too often take for granted. That is something we must never forget. Unfortunately, there will always be individuals, organizations, and nations that threaten those fundamental blessings. We best honor our fallen heroes by remaining vigilant and steadfast in defending the values upon which our Republic was founded.
As usual, UUOhio joined the Memorial Day Parade organized by the City of Seven Hills. Despite the fog, there was a tremendous turnout of spectators. It was especially heartening to see so many young people and children gathered along the parade route.
At the solemn ceremony at City Hall, Grand Marshal John Palcisko reminded us of the debt owed to those who never returned from battle. He also spoke movingly about the hidden wounds carried by many veterans who did return — unseen mental health struggles that increase the risks of depression and su***de. He urged all present to support veterans whose journey to healing remains incomplete and encouraged veterans to make use of the treatment resources available to them.
Cub Scout Pack 470 raised the flag, Father Anthony Suso of St. Columbkille Parish delivered the invocation, and Julie Ann Gulenko sang the National Anthem. Mayor Anthony (“Tony”) Biasiotta read the names of Seven Hills residents who died defending our country. He shared the story of John C. Filippi, an 18-year-old resident of Seven Hills and graduate of Normandy High School, who was killed in action during his first month in Vietnam.
Following the dedication at the Memorial Wall, the ceremony concluded with the playing of Taps, the benediction, and performances by the Normandy High School Choir and Marching Band.
UUOhio thanks Mayor Tony and the citizens of Seven Hills for the tremendous effort invested in organizing such a dignified and flawless commemoration. We also thank the members of UUOhio who participated in the parade and ceremony. Above all, we express our deepest gratitude to the men and women of the Armed Forces whose sacrifice and memory we honor today.

UUOhio applauds the AJC for recognizing and condemning the most horrific of the Russian Federation's many crimes against humanity! No one is safe in a world where such atrocities are committed, justified and lied about.
