Dear friends,
A change of plans: our Zoom briefing on Ukraine's F-16s moves from Tuesday, November 10, to Wednesday, November 11, at 8:00 PM ET (7:00 PM CT, 6:00 PM MT, 5:00 PM PT).
If you have already registered, you do not need to register again.
Special Guest: Steven E. Moore
We are glad to welcome Steven E. Moore, founder of the Ukraine Freedom Project and a former chief of staff in the U.S. House of Representatives. Steven has spent most of his time in Ukraine since the fifth day of the full-scale invasion and has been to the front a dozen times. Members of Congress and their staff rely on him as a trusted source of information about the war.
The Ukraine Freedom Project began in 2022 as a humanitarian effort. Since then, it has delivered about 250 tons of food to war-affected areas, medical supplies to dozens of hospitals, thousands of pieces of body armor, and Starlinks, drones, and generators near the front. Today it also tells Ukraine's story in Washington through media and briefings on Capitol Hill.

Host: Jed Sunden
Jed Sunden founded the Kyiv Post and Korrespondent.net and built KP Media into the largest internet company in Ukraine, taking it public on the Ukrainian Stock Exchange in 2007 and selling it in 2011.
He wrote weekly editorials on Ukrainian politics, and in 2000 President Kuchma's security service declared him persona non grata in Ukraine. He was at the forefront of countering Russian disinformation campaigns in Ukraine in the 2000s, and served fifteen years as Vice President of the Kyiv Jewish community under Rabbi Bleich, the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine.
What We Will Discuss
• why about half of Ukraine's F-16 fleet is stuck in repairs in Belgium, and what it means for Ukraine's defense against Russian drones and missiles;
• the bipartisan letter we are asking Congress to send to the Secretary of the Air Force;
• how your letter to your members of Congress can help, step by step.
There will be time for your questions.
Do you live in Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas or Utah, or in one of our priority House districts? Write to me at stasya@amukr.org with your name and ZIP code, and I will send you the direct contacts of the right staff in your members' offices.
See you on Wednesday!
Best regards,
Anastasiia Bilyk
