The President of the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC), Pavlo Grod, after one of the most massive Russian air attacks on Ukraine, called on U.S. President Donald Trump to use his influence to unblock military aid to Ukraine, which remains critically needed.
This was reported on the UWC website.
Among the weapons urgently needed by Ukraine, he named Patriot batteries, NASAMS systems, IRIS-T launchers, radars, and ammunition.
“President Trump, this is your moment for leadership. You have the influence to unite allies, restore arms supplies, and stop Russia’s war machine. Peace will come through strength, not appeasement,” Grod stated.
He also emphasized the need to strengthen sanctions against Russia, stressing that countries trading with the aggressor state effectively support the war.
The statement was made ahead of the Ukraine Recovery Conference, which will take place on July 10–11 in Rome.
Pavlo Grod reminded the international community:
“There can be no recovery without survival. Ukraine must first be armed to rebuild.”
