Ukraine support letter to send to your local Congressperson in the U.S.
Dear [Senator / Congressperson],
I would like to contact you regarding a matter very important to me: the Russian / Ukraine war happening right now. It is horrifying that a country like Russia would brutally attack a democratic state like Ukraine. We must support any measures that can help Ukraine fight back and hinder Russia’s war efforts.
Since invading Ukraine in 2014 and illegally occupying Crimea, Russia has waged a war of aggression in the eastern Ukrainian oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. This war has cost Ukraine over 14,000 dead, 30,000 wounded and 1.5 million internally displaced people from those occupied territories. On Thursday, February 24, Russia again threatened the sovereignty of Ukrainian territory for no justifiable reason.
I call on you to support:
Providing Ukrainians with more military, humanitarian, and economic support.
Accelerating EU membership and a NATO Membership Action Plan for Ukraine.
Closing Ukraine’s sky. This does not mean deploying NATO troops but is essential for protecting Ukraine.
The full removal of Russia from financial systems, such as Visa and Mastercard operations and SWIFT.
Ceasing business with Russia and Russians. By paying businesses that pay taxes in Russia, we fuel the Russian army and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Increasing sanctions on Russia and Russian exports to deter further aggression.
Stopping the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from becoming operational.
People in Ukraine are dying, including innocent civilians and children, to protect their homeland and freedom. What has been proposed so far is not enough and allows Vladimir Putin a lot of room to get around sanctions.
Let’s do what is right and what furthers democracy in this world for a better tomorrow. Please Stand With Ukraine. The Ukrainian community calls upon you and our government to stand with them and guarantee them peace and dignity, free from Russia’s aggression and oppressive control.
Thank you.
Best regards,
