Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Opposes Easing of Sanctions on Russia
UNWLA unequivocally opposes any move by the United States to lift or ease oil-related sanctions on Russia and related entities funding Russia’s war machine.
At the critical moment when sanctions are making an impact on the Russian economy, lifting or easing of sanctions would reward Putin and would signal that he may continue to support enemies of the United States in their targeting of U.S. bases in the Middle East and continue to commit war crimes against Ukraine, including abducting and militarizing Ukrainian children.
While Russia repeatedly demonstrates its belligerence and proves itself an enemy of the United States and of Ukraine, Ukraine has shown itself a reliable, trusted, and critical security partner – most recently by sharing Ukrainian drone technology to defend allies in the Middle East.
Rather than easing sanctions on Russia, we call on the Administration to act with strength to impose the full measure of sanctions on the Russian Federation and related entities as the best means of bringing about a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
