Ukrainian Americans for Biden, a network of Democratic, Republican, and Independent voters – Ukrainian by heritage or Ukrainian in spirit – was established in 2020 to elect Joe Biden president. Our conviction was that the United States must elect the candidate who best understands which countries are America’s – and Ukraine’s – friends, and which countries are our foes. Our concern was prescient: in February 2022 Russia launched a full-scale invasion. Once again, Ukraine was under attack, American security under threat. Joe Biden was prepared.
President Biden reinvigorated a declining NATO, mobilized the alliance’s support for Ukraine, and directed the United States to provide Ukraine with more than $80 billion in military, economic and humanitarian aid. He proposed an additional aid package for Ukraine that, after a dangerous six months of MAGA obstructionist politics, finally was approved by Congress in April 2024. Immediately, President Biden signed the bill to provide $61 billion in additional funding, and ordered the swift transport to Ukraine of desperately needed weapons.
America is threatened with foes of democracy both domestic and foreign. The stakes in the 2024 elections are too high to equivocate. Together we will re-elect President Joe Biden!
