On July 8, 2024, a Russian missile hit Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital, leading to the evacuations of hundreds of sick children. Three were in the middle of open-heart surgery. Dozens were in the middle of dialysis or chemotherapy.
In all, Russian missiles killed 37 adults, five children, and injured an additional 190 on July 8 alone. This is the reality of daily life in Ukraine. Russia has destoryed thousands of hospitals, schools, power plants, and transportation hubs that civilians depend on.
Ukraine has the tools it needs to stop attacks like this from happening again. The Russian airfields where these bombers took off are still intact.
But President Biden has prevented Ukraine from striking these legitimate military targets in Russia. We need you to call your Member of Congress to urge the Administration not to tie Ukraine’s hands. Innocent children can be saved, but only with your help.
Supporters of Ukraine are grateful that President Biden signed the $61 Billion supplemental package to send arms to Ukraine. But at this very moment, Russia is planning and directing attacks against kids from just across its border with Ukraine. Right now, Russia is refueling war planes, assembling armored vehicles, and expanding military bases mere kilometers from the border. Make no mistake! These efforts have only one purpose: to broaden Putin’s assault on Ukraine and cause more civilian deaths.
Please contact your Representative and ask them to SAVE UKRAINIAN KIDS.
