Slovak-Americans
Stand With Ukraine
Please join our effort to raise funds for humanitarian relief in Ukraine.
We – Slovaks living in the United States of America, Slovak-Americans, and Slovak-American institutions – stand unified with our friends in Ukraine against aggression and in protest of attempts to deny their freedom to choose where, how, and with whom they wish to pursue their future.
We express our full support for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and for the freedom and democratic rights of the Ukrainian people. We strongly condemn Russia's unjustified and unprovoked military invasion of Ukraine.
As people who endured and still remember the invasion of our own country in 1968 and the decades of occupation that followed, we have a moral obligation to act in solidarity with our neighbors. We are witnessing history repeat itself, and must remember that any threat to democracy and independence is a threat to us all.
Our message is clear: the United States, the European Union, and international institutions must enact strong measures to hold Russia's leadership accountable for their breach of international law. We call upon them to strongly support Ukraine's plight for freedom, peace, and prosperity.
We are asking everyone in the Slovak community in the United States to join our effort to raise funds for humanitarian relief in Ukraine; all donations will benefit the International Committee of the Red Cross.
We stand in unity for peace, democracy, and for the preservation of a free Ukraine.
