Founded in the wake of the initial Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014, US Ukrainian Activists (USUA) is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in the DC area. Its primary focus is on providing medical and humanitarian supplies to Ukrainian hospitals and front-line paramedics. Since Feb. 24, when Russia unleashed its full-scale assault on Ukraine, USUA has held a rally every single day in front of the White House to raise awareness of Russia’s brutality toward Ukrainian civilians and to urge tough U.S. and allied action to block Russia’s imperial aims.
