KYIV – Nadiya Savchenko once embodied Ukraine’s courageous defiance before Russia – a far superior foe that historically has tried to subjugate the Ukrainian nation and eliminate any notion of statehood and cultural identity.
As a prisoner in the Moscow-instigated Donbas war at its outset in 2014, Ms. Savchenko went on hunger strikes and endured 709 days of brutal Russian captivity that never broke her indestructible spirit.
WASHINGTON – Since President Donald Trump signed into law the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Acts (CAATSA) in August 2017, the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) and its Washington public affairs bureau, the Ukrainian National Information Service (UNIS), have been monitoring the implementation of the law. Within a framework of advocacy programs in 2017 to promote passage of the CAATSA bill that would sanction Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and interference in the U.S. elections, UNIS organized the first in what will most likely become a series of Ukrainian Days advocacy events on Capitol Hill on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 6-7.

Readers of this paper might have noticed that many of our Ukrainian credit unions hold their annual meetings in February and March. They’re all members of the Ukrainian National Credit Union Association, which reported at its own most recent annual meeting, held June 8-10, 2017, in Washington, that as of March 31, 2017, assets of the 13 UNCUA member credit unions had grown to a total of $3.224 billion, while member deposits increased to $2.741 billion. UNCUA notes on its website that the Ukrainian American credit union movement in the U.S. “exceeds 100,000 family memberships primarily concentrated in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois.”
Last year, on March 31, during the NATO-Ukrainian Commission meeting in Brussels, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson underscored that the U.S. and NATO “stand firm in our support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity” and underscored, “We do not, and will not, accept Russian efforts to changes the borders of the territory of Ukraine.”
