IMPACT OF UCCA’s #SupportUkraine Humanitarian Efforts — 2025
Since February 24, 2022, when russia launched its unprovoked, full-scale war against Ukraine, the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA.org)—the largest umbrella organization representing nearly two million Ukrainian Americans since 1940—has remained steadfast in its commitment to Ukraine and her people.
For nearly four years, UCCA has been on the ground soliciting, procuring, delivering, and distributing life-saving humanitarian and non-lethal assistance. These efforts address the immense humanitarian needs caused by russia’s genocidal invasion while supporting the brave men and women on the front lines defending freedom, sovereignty, and democratic values.
Measurable Impact, Real Lives Saved
UCCA’s humanitarian assistance has directly touched thousands of lives across Ukraine. Through the generosity and trust of our supporters, every dollar donated to UCCA’s #SupportUkraine initiative has been leveraged nearly tenfold— resulting in more than $57 million in humanitarian and non-lethal assistance delivered over the past four years.
Below is just a snapshot of what your support helped accomplish in 2025, the 4th year of russia’s full-scale war of aggression:
Medical Assistance: Strengthening Frontline Care
Building on its partnership with Hospital Sisters Mission Outreach, a medical supply and equipment recovery organization, UCCA procured three additional 40-foot containers filled with vital medical supplies, surgical instruments, and much-needed rehabilitation equipment sourced from hospitals across the Midwest.
These containers were shipped to UCCA’s in-country partner, AICM-Ukraine, which distributes medical aid to 257 hospitals located closest to the front lines—facilities that continue to operate under the constant threat of daily bombardment.
UCCA also partnered with the Ukrainian Medical Association of North America (UMANA) to send additional medical containers to Ukraine through Project C.U.R.E., further expanding access to life-saving care for wounded civilians and defenders alike.
In total, UCCA delivered close to $2 million in medical supplies and equipment through these partnerships and initiatives.
Saving Lives Through Medical Training & Supplies
Through UCCA’s ongoing partnership with Anomaly, which provides Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training—battlefield-proven, evidence-based medical protocols for treating combat injuries—UCCA’s monthly support has helped achieve the following in 2025:
Training Delivered
Over 15,000 soldiers trained in first aid and life-saving trauma care
More than 2,000 combat medics trained to instruct others
Delivering Ambulances
UCCA continued its partnership with Ukraine Focus for the second consecutive year, joining its vital humanitarian missions to deliver urgently needed ambulances to Ukraine. These vehicles strengthen Ukraine’s resilience amid russia’s ongoing genocidal war and are deployed directly to the Territorial Defense Forces and frontline medics — where each ambulance can help save up to 250 lives per month.
In this fourth year of russia’s genocidal war, UCCA participated in the following missions:
May 2025 – Mission #13: Alliance of Victory Convoy
Delivered 23 ambulances and evacuation vehicles.
October 2025 – Mission #15
Successfully delivered 24 ambulances and 5 support vehicles.
Through these missions, UCCA continues to provide life-saving support to those defending and protecting Ukraine.
Operation Against the Cold: Keeping Ukraine’s Defenders Warm
In 2025 alone, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of UCCA’s largest in-kind donor, Fieldsheer, a technology and apparel company known for its Mobile Warming lines of temperature-controlled clothing - UCCA’s #SupportUkraine initiative delivered 5.9 tons of winter gear valued at over $3 million USD, including:
- 18,384 pairs of socks
- 4,557 pairs of gloves
- 3,503 heated vests
What makes this effort extraordinary is speed and efficiency:
Within one day of arrival, supplies were already in transit to the front lines.
Non-Lethal Assistance: Enhancing Safety & Operational Effectiveness
In addition to humanitarian aid, UCCA continues to provide critical non-lethal assistance that enhances operational effectiveness and—most importantly—saves lives. Throughout 2025, UCCA regularly fulfilled urgent non-lethal requests from frontline units, procuring and distributing vitally needed drones, communications equipment, compasses, GPS devices, and other essential tools to help keep the men and women defending Ukraine safe in active combat zones.
When russia unleashed its unprovoked, barbaric war against Ukraine, it violated every international law -- smashing the post-World War II European security architecture. Since February 24, 2022, the brave men and women of Ukraine have been standing on the frontlines of democracy, defending all of Europe from russia’s advancing tyranny. The toll has been staggering for Ukraine – thousands have been killed, over 6.5 million have fled to the safety of other countries, 8 million are internally displaced and over 16,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped from their families and trafficked into russia – creating the largest humanitarian crisis Europe has seen since WWII.
To meet the humanitarian challenges, the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), the largest umbrella organization representing the interests of the nearly 2 million Americans of Ukrainian descent, launched a nationwide fundraising campaign to help provide relief for the growing number of those in need and to coordinate vital humanitarian assistance with various organizations on the ground. Over the past three years, thanks to the public’s trust in and financial support of UCCA’s #SupportUkraine program, we have been able to leverage 10x that amount in assistance delivered – resulting in distributing over $50million in humanitarian aid, medical support and non-lethal assistance. UCCA prides itself in the fact that our aid quickly reaches those in need - nothing is held up in storage and no middlemen. Having a presence in Ukraine for decades, UCCA only works with long-standing, trusted and vetted partners.
We are proud of our deliverables, and the direct impact this aid has had on tens of thousands of lives in Ukraine. However, Ukrainians are still standing on the frontlines defending our shared American and Ukrainian democratic values, and they deserve our continued support. If we fail to help Ukraine in this fight today, tomorrow it will be a failure for us all.
