The world cannot become numb to these atrocities! This is not normal! This is not acceptable! It is an outrageous attack on human lives, history, culture, and the right of a nation to live in peace.
June 15 Russia launched a massive attack on Kyiv, targeting residential neighborhoods, causing fires, destroying homes, and leaving families without electricity. As if that were not enough,
‼️one of the strikes damaged the historic Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra — a sacred spiritual center and UNESCO World Heritage Site that has stood for centuries ‼️

It is hard to comprehend this level of destruction. Innocent civilians are once again forced to spend the night in shelters while missiles and drones rain down on their city. Homes can be rebuilt, but the trauma inflicted on people and the damage to cultural and religious heritage are immeasurable.

The Ukraine Support Act (H.R. 2913) has passed the House❗
After months of dedicated work by legislators, advocates, and supporting organizations, this marks an important milestone. However, the process is not yet complete.
We now urge the Senate to promptly consider and advance companion legislation without delay.
Russia’s war efforts are increasingly strained, and Ukraine continues to gain momentum on the ground. This moment presents a critical opportunity to push for a path toward negotiations and an end to ongoing aggression.
Congress has the ability to help reduce the devastating human toll, and the Ukraine Support Act represents a significant step in that direction.
‼️Constituents , please thank your Representatives for supporting the bill and contact your Senators to request swift action on the companion legislation.

Power is in unity! Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Together for Victory!
The U.S. Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce is proud to support our defenders on the front lines in Ukraine. UCC participated in helping purchase life-saving tourniquets for the brave Ukrainian soldiers protecting their homeland every day.
The funds for this important aid were collected during the Ukrainian Festival on April 18. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and continues to support Ukraine and our heroes.
Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

What an incredible Vyshyvanka Run as we celebrated the 20th anniversary of Vyshyvanka Day! 🇺🇦🏃‍♂️
It was amazing to see so many people come together to celebrate Ukrainian heritage, traditions, strength, and resilience. Vyshyvanka is much more than beautiful embroidery — it is a symbol of unity, identity, solidarity, and support.
What started in 2006 as a small student initiative in Ukraine has grown into a worldwide celebration embraced by millions of people across the globe. Today, Vyshyvanka Day unites Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine in more than 100 countries every third Thursday of May.
You do not have to be Ukrainian to wear a vyshyvanka. Everyone is welcome to stand together in friendship, support, and appreciation of Ukrainian culture and freedom.
VYSHYVANKA RUN 2026 • 5K 🇺🇸🇺🇦
We did it! The first annual charity race officially took place, bringing together community, culture, and purpose.
This year, we also came together to support one of the units of the 4th Operational Response Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine by helping raise funds for a vehicle for the front line.
Together, during this single sporting morning event, we raised $500 toward this important mission.
A heartfelt thank you to U.S. Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce, UCC Sports Union ,Run Buddies, and Steven Rothman for organizing such a meaningful event and bringing our community together!

On May 24, Kyiv endured one of the largest Russian attacks since the beginning of the full-scale war. Russia launched nearly 600 drones, along with numerous ballistic, air-launched ballistic, and cruise missiles, including a decoy intermediate-range ballistic missile, in a coordinated assault on Ukraine’s capital, as well as the Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions.
As of now, 69 people have been reported injured in the capital. Tragically, two people were killed.
The attacks burned down one of Kyiv’s oldest markets, destroyed the Chornobyl Museum, and damaged the National Art Museum, as well as the building housing Germany’s ARD office.
Ukraine does not need empty words — it needs continued support, unity, and strength from the international community. Peace cannot exist while aggression is rewarded.
Stand with Ukraine. Stand for truth, resilience, and the right of people to live safely in their own homeland.

Happy Vyshyvanka Day!
Today we celebrate the beauty, strength, and spirit of Ukrainian heritage through the tradition of Vyshyvanka — the embroidered shirt that carries generations of history, culture, and pride.
This year marks 20 years of celebrating Vyshyvanka Day, a tradition observed every year on the third Thursday of May.
No matter where Ukrainians are around the world, we remain connected by our traditions and our hearts. Wear your Vyshyvanka with pride and celebrate Ukrainian culture with us! 💙💛
