Dear Friend of the Baltics,
Feb. 24 will mark two years of Russia’s murderous invasion of Ukraine and almost 10 years of Russia’s illegal occupation of Ukrainian territory since 2014. It is an anniversary to rally support against the violence, lies and threats perpetrated by the regime in Moscow – not only against Ukraine but also against the U.S., the Baltics and our allies.
In this election year, Congress and candidates need to see and hear public support for Ukraine, to ensure the U.S. continues to support Ukraine now – and the Baltics in the future.
We urge you to use this tragic anniversary to demonstrate need and resolve by participating in a rally or other event that local Ukrainians are hosting on Feb. 24 or Feb. 25:
