Through their political mobilization, Ukrainian Americans in 2017 had quite a number of achievements, including Holodomor resolutions in three states on the 85th anniversary of the Famine-Genocide of Ukraine (most notably Oregon), as well as the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, which provides funds for Ukrainian soldiers wounded in Ukraine to be medically treated in the U.S. Numerous organizations held conventions and conferences, and there were informative meetings with elected officials.

On February 22, the Ukrainian National Association celebrated the 123rd anniversary of its founding back in 1894, when its first convention was held in Shamokin, Pa. It was there that 10 brotherhoods with a total membership of 439 people and assets of $220 resolved to form a fraternal association as had been suggested by an editorial published in the Ukrainian-language newspaper Svoboda on November 1, 1893. Today the UNA continues to live up to its founding principles, succinctly described in its mission statement: “In accordance with its charter, the Ukrainian National Association exists: to promote the principles of fraternalism; to preserve the Ukrainian, Ukrainian American and Ukrainian Canadian heritage and culture; and to provide quality financial services and products to its members.”

KYIV – Ukraine’s Parliament passed a controversial bill that pro-presidential lawmakers say aligns legislation closer to reality on the ground in war-torn Donbas.

Exactly 280 deputies – 56 more than needed – voted on January 18 for President Petro Poroshenko’s measures to name Russia as an aggressor state and designate areas Kyiv doesn’t control as “temporarily occupied territories” in a law that could potentially limit the human rights of residents in the two easternmost oblasts of Luhansk and Donetsk.
