In the wake of a devastating attack on Kyiv that claimed the lives of numerous civilians, Hope for Ukraine has issued a strong statement urging decisive international action.
Yuriy Boyechko, CEO of Hope for Ukraine, emphasized the urgency of the situation and outlined three key steps the United States and its allies must take to help prevent further casualties and pressure Russia toward a ceasefire:
- Public Condemnation: “The U.S. must publicly condemn—at the highest level, whether by the State Department or the President—the attack on Kyiv last night that claimed so many civilian lives,” Boyechko said.
- Immediate Military Aid: He called on the U.S. to “immediately announce a new shipment of military aid to Ukraine” to support the country’s defense.
- Use of Frozen Russian Assets: Finally, Boyechko urged the U.S. and the EU to authorize the use of frozen Russian assets to fund military support for Ukraine. “This third move would send the strongest possible message to the Kremlin that the U.S. and EU are no longer playing games—and that Ukraine will be defended with resources taken directly from Russian frozen assets.”
Hope for Ukraine continues to advocate for policies that protect civilians and uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty amid ongoing aggression.
