4ADVOCACYThe Ukraine Action Summit is a biannual community advocacy event hosted by the American Coalition for Ukraine committed to fostering bipartisan support for Ukraine's sovereignty and freedom. This summit – our sixth – united over 600 delegates from all 50 states to advocate for enduring peace, justice, and security for Ukraine. The key policy priorities for this summit reflected ongoing peace talks led by the U.S. government.ENDURING PEACEAbove all, the Ukrainian people seek peace and look to resolute American leadership to secure it. By agreeing to a ceasefire, Ukraine has welcomed and demonstrated its willingness to follow U.S. leadership toward peace. However, history shows that Russia cannot be trusted to honor peace agreements—it has broken every deal since 2014.REJECT RUSSIAN EXPANSIONThe U.S. must never recognize Russia’s illegitimate claims on Ukrainian territory. Rewarding Putin’saggression would embolden tyrants worldwide, signaling that wars of conquest can succeed andoccupied territories can become theirs with time.MAKE RUSSIA PAYFrozen Russian assets held in the U.S. and Europe should be transferred to Ukraine to support its defense efforts and ease the financial burden on American taxpayers. Seizing frozen Russian assets strengthens the U.S. and Ukraine’s position ahead of any peace talks and ensures Russia pays for the destruction it caused.ACT AGAINST RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION AND CHILD ABDUCTION Russia targets Christians in occupied territories through re-education, detention, and execution.Additionally, Russia’s forced transfer of Ukrainian children constitutes genocide under international law. As a signatory of the Genocide Convention, the U.S. must act decisively against these atrocities.TARGET LEGISLATIONH.R.2548/S.1241: Bipartisan and bicameral sanctions legislation targeting Russian aggression aimed at ensuring accountability and supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty. It imposes sanctions on Russia if it refuses to negotiate peace, violates agreements, or initiates further aggression against Ukraine. Advocacy is the cornerstone of the Summit, and is the reason we meet in Washington D.C. CONGRESSIONAL MEETINGS AT THE SUMMITThis pie chart illustrates, based on the 535 members of the House and Senate, both constituent attendance at the Summit and whether or not ACU delegates secured meetings with those elected officials. 61.3% (328 officeholders) held a meeting at the Summit and had a constituent present. 17.4% of those elected officials (93) didn't have a constituent in attendance, but held a meeting anyway. 79 elected officials (14.8% of the total House and Senate) didn't hold a meeting or have a constituent present. And lastly, there was only a 6.5% chance that a constiuent in attendence at the Summit (35 people) wasn't able to meet with their elected official.61.3%6.5%17.4%14.8%Had constiuent and meetingHad constituent but no meetingNo constituent or meetingHad meeting but no constituent

13All of our work rests on the strength and dedication of our volunteers. The State Leader Network (SLN) is a crucial component of the ACU's advocacy efforts, designed to guide and coordinate advocacy at the state level and maximize impact for Ukraine. The goals of SLN include working on identifying and training effective advocates, coordinating local engagement efforts, and ensuring a strong nationwide voice in support of Ukraine. Through this structured approach, the ACU aims to maximize its impact, maintain consistent advocacy efforts across the United States, and create an expedient response force and guide advocates to support Ukraine effectively year-round both in district and during the Ukraine Action Summit in DC. Part of this network are our Ukraine Action Summit Delegation Leaders. Within the State Leader Network, the Delegation Leader steers state delegations to speak with Senate and Representative offices during the bi-annual Ukraine Action Summits. They engage in outreach and team building ahead of the summit to ensure solid state representation. They ensure that their delegation is prepared and receives guidelines for their time on the hill. Delegation Leaders are also charged with scheduling their team’s legislative meetings, and overseeing their delegation during their time on the hill.

15Porcelain War is an Academy Award nominated documentary about the role and power of art as a form of resistance during wartime. The event was hosted by Congressman Tom Kean (NJ-07) in the Capitol Building. Congressman Tom Kean opened the event by addressing the attendees in the Congressional Auditorium on April 7th. “From the very beginning of this war, I’ve stood firmly with Ukraine,” Keane said in a social media post about the Summit. “Their defense is not simply about borders—it is about defending the core values that uphold the free world: sovereignty, democracy, and the right of nations to determine their own future.” The viewing served as a poignant reminder of the brutality of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and of the human lives that have been forever changed by it. “Having been to Kharkiv and seeing many of the same places in the film, one scene in particular was incredibly emotional for me, the bombed out school,” said Mark Lieber, a Delegation Leader from Arizona. “I can’t truly describe what I felt rather than, ‘I was there with them in that moment.’ I will never forget that.”Delegates from around the United States attended the viewing before launching into three days of pro-Ukraine advocacy work on Capitol Hill. In total, more than 600 constituents from all 50 states plus Puerto Rico, attended the Ukraine Action Summit, and held over 400 meetings with their members of Congress. Also in attendance at the viewing were several members of Congress and their staff. HIGHLIGHTS - MONDAY APRIL 7PORCELAIN WAR FILM & REMARKSWITH CONGRESSMAN TOM KEAN

16The exhibition presented a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Washingtonians to view a collection of 15 rare reproductions of European paintings created between the 18th and 19th centuries—many of which have never been publicly displayed and exist only in private collections. These works capture authentic scenes of Crimean Tatar life, culture, and architecture before significant historical changes altered the region’s landscape.These paintings serve as time capsules, offering visitors a glimpse into a vibrant and sophisticated culture that many Americans may be unfamiliar with,” said Zera Mustafaieva, President of the Crimean Tatar Foundation USA, Inc. and the exhibition’s organizer, who also serves as a scholar at Purdue University. “The European artists who created these works were essentially documentarians, capturing a way of life that has endured despite tremendous challenges.The exhibition went beyond mere display, offering an immersive cultural experience. Attendees engaged directly with Crimean Tatar heritage through interactive installations, multimedia presentations, and guided explorations that animated centuries of indigenous Ukrainian cultural traditions.HIGHLIGHTS - TUESDAY APRIL 8CRIMEAN TATAR FOUNDATION EXHIBITION

18The Remembrance Society (TRS) in cooperation with the American Coalition for Ukraine (ACU) held a Congressional press conference the afternoon of April 9 to highlight the terror of Vladimir Putin since his rise to power, including the FSB apartment bombings of 1999, the downing of the MH17 airliner killing 287 innocent people, the Bucha massacre and finally, the war crimes being committed today such as the torture and murder of Ukrainian POWs, the killing of thousands via the bombing of civilian targets, and the stealing of 20,000 Ukrainian children. The press conference took place in conjunction with the American Coalition for Ukraine Advocacy (ACU) Summit in Washington DC from April 6-9. As the United States seeks to negotiate a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, the press conference examined the implications of Putin’s acts of terrorism against his own people, and against the people of Ukraine since Russia's invasion in 2022, and of Putin's violation of prior international agreements. Speakers also discussed the danger of trusting Putin to live up to agreements, and the conditions for a sustainable agreement to end the war.

19Andrii Smolensky and Adam Kinzinger took the stage at the premiere of No Sleep Til Kyiv, a documentary about regular people who sacrifice their pre-war lives to build a pipeline of badly needed trucks and aid to front-line Ukrainian troops. When American Peter Duke joined a convoy from Estonia to Kyiv to deliver critical aid to Ukrainian troops, he unexpectedly discovered a country echoing the spirit and unity of America's birth in 1776. Duke witnessed the people involved in this struggle up close revealing remarkable acts of selflessness and purpose that transcended borders and politics. It changed his perception of the conflict and himself. He returned home, impassioned and determined to do more. He shared his story with his friend Keith Ori, and it ignited a mission purpose for them both!The journey from Tallinn to Ukraine is one that Peter makes alongside the 69th Sniffing Brigade – a volunteer-led initiative that (while not an official military unit) plays a vital role in supporting Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Originating from the online NAFO (North Atlantic Fella Organization) community, the brigade blends meme culture with real-world logistics, raising millions to deliver essential gear to the frontlines.HIGHLIGHTS - WEDNESDAY APRIL 9NO SLEEP TIL KYIV
