Launching the campaign #StandWithUkraine – Unite for Ukrainian Victory!, the ICUV team, together with our partners the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) and the Communities Army Of Ukraine (CAU), brought together over 78 countries, 654 cities, and more than 1,005 events worldwide.

Our demands are the same as always:

• Providing Ukraine with the necessary military aid.
• Strengthening sanctions against key Russia individuals and sectors of the Russian economy.
• Confiscating frozen Russian assets and using these funds to rebuild Ukraine.
• Imposing a war tax on Russian LNG.
• Recognising Russia’s actions as genocide of the Ukrainian people.
• Recognising Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.
