Support civilians, refugees, and rebuilding Ukraine
Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced, thousands of civilian infrastructure targets destroyed. We call on Congress to maintain robust humanitarian aid funding, support USAID programs in Ukraine, and contribute to international reconstruction funds, including using seized Russian assets for rebuilding.
Urge Congress to maintain USAID Ukraine funding, oppose cuts to humanitarian programs, and support the use of Russian sovereign assets for reconstruction.
Humanitarian aid keeps hospitals running, children in school, and displaced families housed. Cutting it now would compound the human cost of Russian aggression.
USAID Ukraine programs face budget pressure. International reconstruction estimates exceed $500B, far beyond current pledges. The REPO Act bills would use seized Russian assets for reconstruction.
Grants lawful permanent residency to Ukrainians who were paroled into the U.S. after February 2014 and have maintained continuous presence, protecting hundreds of thousands from deportation to an active war zone. This is the single most important piece of legislation for the Ukrainian community and all who support them.
Establishes a comprehensive U.S. policy to recover Ukrainian children forcibly deported to Russia and Russian-occupied territories. Authorizes sanctions against Russian officials responsible for child deportations, funds international recovery efforts, and creates a special envoy for abducted Ukrainian children.
