About Us
We are a voluntary public organization supporting a free society and fighting against authoritarian regimes. The organization unites people from all over the world who care about what is happening in Ukraine
Mission
Our mission is to ensure that U.S. aid to Ukraine is used effectively to support its defense capabilities and long-term stability. Current programs are not achieving their goals and may even be counterproductive. We aim to redirect funds from ineffective projects to the Ukrainian military, enhancing its ability to defend the country from aggression.
Goals
To redirect the $482 million in 2025 USAID funding, and other funds, to directly strengthen the Ukrainian military.
To end funding for ineffective anti-corruption programs that have not decreased corruption in Ukraine.
To end funding for media programs that have demonstrated biased and partisan propaganda.
To promote transparency and accountability in the allocation of US aid to Ukraine.
To prevent the spread of russian aggression and protect the security interests of the United States and its allies. Security interests of the United States and its allies.
Issues
Ineffective Anti-Corruption Efforts: Despite U.S. support, corruption in Ukraine persists, with numerous scandals involving luxury car sales, military food procurement, and misuse of funds.
Biased Media Coverage: U.S.-funded media outlets in Ukraine have been found to engage in one-sided propaganda, misrepresenting political figures and promoting partisan views, rather than objective reporting.
Misuse of Humanitarian Aid: Significant amounts of humanitarian aid have been embezzled, with evidence of organized theft by high-ranking officials.
Human Rights Abuses: There are credible reports of human rights abuses, including illegal detentions, torture, and beatings, within Ukrainian government institutions, and a lack of appropriate response from human rights organizations.
Why Redirecting Aid is Crucial
A russian victory in Ukraine would have far-reaching negative consequences. Russia could become emboldened to further expand its influence in other countries, increasing global tensions.
The US must not appear weak on the international stage, which could encourage other adversarial nations.
The current trajectory of US aid is not maximizing its intended impact. By prioritizing military support, the U.S. can help Ukraine secure its own future.
FAQ
The primary concerns revolve around the misuse of funds, particularly humanitarian aid, which has reportedly been embezzled by Ukrainian officials and sold for personal gain. Additionally, there are concerns that US-funded programs meant to promote democracy and combat corruption have proven largely ineffective, with evidence of ongoing corruption, including a booming luxury car market despite the war, inflated military food procurement contracts, and misuse of research funds. It's also argued that a substantial portion of the funds go to what some perceive as biased propaganda aligned with the US Democratic party, rather than promoting independent media.
Several examples are provided, including: large-scale theft of humanitarian aid in the Zaporizhia region, evidenced by missing trucks, containers, and rail cars, a luxury car market that is booming espite the war, an inflated military food procurement scandal where prices were 2-3 times higher than market rates, misuse of funds allocated to Antarctic research, including questionable contracts with shell companies for unnecessary luxuries such as octopus, salmon, wine, and caviar, and the controversial purchase of musical instruments and Lego sets for inadequate bomb shelters.
The "Gym" refers to an unofficial detention facility that allegedly operated in the basement of the central Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) building in Kyiv. This facility is reported to ave held up to 70 people at a time, where detainees were allegedly subjected to illegal detention, blindfolding, limited food and water, and sometimes torture and coercion to confess to crimes. It's highlighted that one of the alleged victims of torture in the Gym is a key witness in the case against Oleksandr Dubinsky who accuses members of the Biden family of corruption.
There are reports of illegal detentions, torture, and beatings within the Territorial Centers of Recruitment and Social Support (TCR) during the mobilization of people into the military. In some cases, these abuses have reportedly led to the death of detainees. There are also reports of physical abuse of those who are not yet mobilized.
The main recommendation is to redirect $482 million from the 2025 USAID budget, as well as other funding aimed at media support, anti-corruption efforts, and democracy initiatives, towards trengthening the Ukrainian military. The reasoning is that corruption and misuse of funds render other forms of aid ineffective and do not contribute to the overall security goals, while supporting Ukraine ilitarily is necessary to deter further Russian aggression.
The report argues that a Russian-dominated Ukraine would embolden Russia to expand its influence in the region, potentially leading to further conflicts and damaging US interests in Europe. It also suggests a failure to support Ukraine would give Russia access to NATO-related military technologies and would be interpreted as weakness by adversarial nations, potentially encouraging them to pursue their own territorial ambitions, specifically noting that Russia might turn its attention to helping China take Taiwan.
