Ukraine needs Your Support!

Dear Ukraine Supporters, Ukraine's survival and victory depends on military aid from the US and the timely delivery of it.

Our immediate legislative and policy priorities in ensuring that Ukraine retains the ability to defend itself in the face of Russian aggression are listed below. We urge you to call your Members of Congress and communicate the following inquires:

Immediate Transfer of Military Aid Under Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA).
Remove Restrictions on Ukraine’s Use of U.S.-Provided Long-Range Weapons
Direct Commercial Contracting (DCC) Authority for Ukraine
Support for S.4992/H.R.9501 | The Stand with Ukraine Act

Note: It is best to call often and cover one issue at a time.

Please take a moment to reach out to your representatives, and encourage your friends and family to do the same through social media, email, and other channels. Your involvement, even just a few minutes of your time, can make an immense impact. Thank you for your support!

a Call is allways better, however you can also Write to your Representative and Senators.

What do I say when I call my Members of Congress offices?

Please feel free to use your own words or paraphrase the suggested messages. They are examples of what you can say on current pressing issues. We also suggest you talk about one issue at a time and alternate through them in different phone calls.

Start with introducing yourself and telling your zip code. You can say your name but you don’t have to:
Hello, I would like to leave a message for Senator/Representative Doe, I am his/her constituent from zip code 00000. Thank you for your continued support for Ukraine and the US national security interests, which are currently tight together.

1. Immediate Transfer of Military Aid Under Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA):
I am calling to express my deep concern over the delay in transferring The $9.5 billion in military aid under the Presidential Drawdown Authority. Although this authority was preserved from expiration at the end of the last fiscal year, the weapons under it have yet to be delivered to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine faces a critical shortage of munitions. The urgency of this situation cannot be overstated. I urge the Representative/Senator to contact the White House and demand the immediate transfer of the remaining $9.5 billion worth of weapons under the PDA.

2. Remove Restrictions on Ukraine’s Use of U.S.-Provided Long-Range Weapons:
The current restrictions on Ukraine’s use of U.S.-supplied long-range weapons are both unreasonable and harmful. Russia is receiving unrestricted supplies of ballistic missiles and other weaponry from Iran, North Korea, and possibly other nations. These limitations on Ukraine’s defensive capabilities have led to missed opportunities on the battlefield and increased civilian and military casualties. At the moment cities like Kharkiv are simply wiped off the face of the earth. For a reference Kharkiv is a home to over a million people. The US long range weapons can and should be used to take out Russian legit military targets and I am very disturbed this is currently prohibited by the White House. I implore the Senator / Representative to request the Biden administration to reverse this decision and produce a Statement of Policy acknowledging the right of Ukraine to use US made weapons against all legit targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.

I also urge the Senator / Representative to press the White House for them to ensure that Ukraine receives an adequate supply of AGM-158 JASSM and ATACMS. These weapons are essential for Ukraine’s defense and effectiveness in resisting Russian aggression.

3. Direct Commercial Contracting (DCC) Authority for Ukraine:
In May, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced an additional $2 billion in aid to Ukraine, intended for the purchase of U.S. weapons, investment in Ukraine’s manufacturing capacity, and acquisition of arms from other countries. However, the absence of Direct Commercial Contracting (DCC) provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) has delayed investments in Ukraine’s manufacturing sector.
I ask the Senator / Representative to work with fellow Congressmen to include a Direct Commercial Contracting provision for Ukraine in the next legislation for Ukraine. This is crucial for bolstering Ukraine’s manufacturing capabilities and ensuring effective use of the allocated aid. This is also a crucial step in helping Ukraine towards defense self-sufficiency.

4. Support for S.4992/H.R.9501 | The Stand with Ukraine Act:
The Stand with Ukraine Act is vital in strengthening Ukraine’s Armed Forces. The act emphasizes transferring Excess Defense Articles (EDA), accelerating Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and advocating for Ukraine to be treated as a Major Non-NATO Ally. I urge the Senator / Representative to co-sponsor this bill and advocate for its swift passage in your chamber.

Important Note: Many Representatives and Senators have already co-sponsored this legislation. If your Members are on these lists, please take time to call and thank them for that:

The Stand with Ukraine Act is vital in strengthening Ukraine’s Armed Forces. I am very grateful for your co-sponsorship of this fundamental legislation for Ukraine. Thank you for taking the lead on passing this Act!

5. The 2025 Supplemental:
The war in Ukraine is ongoing, and U.S. support must continue into 2025. Cutting aid would have devastating consequences for Ukraine and U.S. allies globally, emboldening adversaries like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. I urge the Senator / Representative to work with your colleagues to secure funding for Ukraine in the coming year.

6. Transfer of Frozen Russian Assets:
Since the REPO Act was passed in April 2024, no action has been taken to transfer frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. These funds are essential for Ukraine to purchase weapons and address other critical needs. I urge the Senator / Representative to inquire with the White House to act promptly in executing this transfer with no restrictions on their use for defense purposes.

7. Glide Bombs Issue:
Russian forces are pummeling Ukrainian positions with hundreds a day of inexpensive, precision glide bombs over a thousand pounds each. These attacks are causing horrific casualties, destroying fortified positions and forcing Ukrainian troops to crawl backwards. If left unchecked, the Ukrainian frontlines could collapse. Patriot air defense systems could be a game-changer by giving Ukraine the ability to intercept these bombers before they unleash their deadly payloads. I implore you to reach out to the administration and urge them to immediately send ten Patriot air defense systems and sufficient quantity missiles to Ukraine. Our old Patriot PAC-2 batteries are sufficient for this job.

8. Excess Defense Articles (EDA):
A very large number of weapons Ukraine desperately requires today is available through the US Excess Defense Articles program for military equipment that the US Department of Defense no longer needs. Military equipment can become obsolete due to its age, changes in strategy, or budgetary constraints. At the moment this channel of assisting Ukraine is underutilized and Ukraine is not getting enough weapons it needs. I would like to ask Senator/Representative Doe to request the Biden administration to take full advantage of the EDA program and provide Ukraine with all retired and unused US equipment. This can be a game changer for Ukraine and I appreciate the Senator / Representative advocating for this line of assistance

Finish the conversation / leaving message:
The human cost of this war is devastating. I stand with you in supporting Ukraine's fight for freedom and believe this action is essential for our national security interests as well. In addition to all the above, please let me know if there are other ways I can contribute to supporting Ukraine during this difficult time. Thank you for representing my voice and for your continued efforts.
