New York (UCCA) – The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), the largest grassroots representation of Americans of Ukrainian descent, welcomed the news that the Trump administration has finally imposed additional financial sanctions against Russia, both for its meddling in the 2016 U.S. elections, as well as for a crippling cyberattack levelled against Ukraine and other countries.
Thursday’s sanctions against hackers and spy agencies were placed on 5 entities and 19 individuals whose cyberattacks have been characterized by U.S. government officials as the “most destructive and costly” in history.
UCCA will continue to advocate for stronger - and specifically sectoral sanctions - against the Russian Federation until it withdraws all of its covert and overt forces and equipment from Ukraine and de-occupies the sovereign territory of Ukraine, including Crimea.
The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) is a non-profit, non-partisan community-based organization that has represented the interests of Ukrainians in the United States since 1940.
Український Конґресовий Комітет Америки (УККА) є неприбутковою, безпартійною громадською організацією, яка представляє інтереси українців у Сполучених Штатах Америки з 1940 року.
