Ukraine

The United States-Ukraine relationship is based on the universal desire for freedom, economic prosperity, and security. As a proud co-founder and co-chair of the Ukraine Caucus, Ms. Kaptur is committed to working with her colleagues to ensuring that the United States stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine as it continues on the path towards liberty. Since her first visit to Ukraine as a young woman, Kaptur has closely monitored Ukraine's democratic developments. Given its fertile soil, resilient and proud people, and strategic location, Ukraine has tremendous potential and is the key for democratic transformation in the region.

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the United States remains a steadfast ally of Ukraine. Kaptur works energetically to keep the flame for Ukraine alive in Congress. Amongst other Ukrainian priorities, she has advocated for strong humanitarian assistance, full support and integration of Internally Displaced People, and works with allies to ensure a diplomatic solution to fully restore Ukrainian territorial sovereignty.

Kaptur has worked to shine a light on Ukrainian women, particularly rural women who produce a majority of food domestically consumed and who have done much to hold the nation together. They serve as the bastion of society, feed their families and countrymen, and are important role models for younger generations. By increasing their access to markets and removing societal and legal limitations to their success, the international community can strengthen Ukraine's social fabric.
