WASHINGTON – This year’s third Ukrainian Day advocacy event will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, September 16-17.

This is a very important year for the community as we focus on Ukraine’s security, defend its independence against foreign oppressors, and promote its Euro-Atlantic integration, noted Michael Sawkiw Jr., director of the Ukrainian National Information Service (UNIS).

The goal is to seek support for: military assistance to Ukraine, more sanctions against Russia, assistance to Ukraine’s hard-hit economy and the international election observer mission to be sent to Ukraine by the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America for the October elections. In addition, Ukrainian Days participants will advocate for a presidential visit to Ukraine.
