NEW YORK – The New York branch of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America organized a protest against the sentencing of filmmaker Oleh Sentsov to a 20-year term in a maximum-security prison on trumped-up charges of terrorism. The sentence was handed down by a Russian court in Rostov-in-Don. Dozens of demonstrators with flags and placards gathered in Times Square on August 30 to demand freedom for Mr. Sentsov and his co-defendant Oleksandr Kolchenko.

The damning report, published on September 23 by the European Court of Auditors (ECA), stated that the 12.2 billion euros in various forms of assistance and loan guarantees provided to Ukraine since 2014 have “not delivered the expected results.”
