Americans and Romanians working together

for peace and democracy in Ukraine

Sharing a 381-mile common border and Black Sea coast, as well as ethnic heritage with more than 3 million citizens of Ukraine and Moldova, Romania is a front-line state in Vladimir Putin’s brutal and unjustified invasion of Ukraine. His war is a serious threat to Romania’s security and to our common values of freedom, democracy, and peace.

Since 1945, Europe has continuously moved from war and authoritarianism toward peace and democracy. Putin’s actions are intended to reverse that progress. The United States alliance with Romania has never been more important to both nations.

US Aid to Ukraine: We support President biden and Congress working together to increase military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

Joint action with Ukrainian Americans and others: We are working with the Central and Eastern European Coalition, the Federation of Romanian-American Organizations, and others to support American leadership against Putin’s war.

Charitable aid for refugees in Romania: We have partnered with the Romanian United Fund, as well as the Rotary Piatra Neamț which is helping refugees at the Moldova border, to raise funds for refugee aid in Romania.

US asylum for Ukrainian refugees: President Biden has pledged the US will welcome 100,000 refugees. We are urging the US government to accelerate the process for refugees in Romania.

Enhance defense capacity in Romania: We support the United States, Romania, and our NATO allies increasing their capabilities in Romania and the Black Sea region, as well as reducing their dependence on Russian gas and oil.
