Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine

❗️ Yana Stepanenko made the first symbolic kick in the Shakhtar vs Zorya match — the Youth and Sports Committee. 13-year-old Yana Stepanenko ran five kilometres on prostheses at the Boston Marathon and proved to the world that Ukrainians are unbreakable. In April 2022, the girl lost both legs as a result of a russian missile attack on the railway station in Kramatorsk. Together with her, Oleksandr Kobzarev, who is currently the head of the UNBROKEN Foundation, which promotes treatment, prosthetics and rehabilitation of Ukrainian military and civilians, took to the pitch at Arena Lviv.

❗️ Legislation on international cooperation of communities and regions has been expanded, — Vitalii Bezhin, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Administrative and Territorial Structure and Local Self-Government of the Committee on the Organisation of State Power. Draft law No 9450 was adopted as a whole! Now any of our communities, especially in the affected area that has no border with the European Union, will be able to cooperate with European programmes and European funds in a simplified format. This means more resources, faster recovery, and greater involvement in the European community. Facebook / Website Instagram / X

Today, President Biden signed into law the support package passed by the U.S. Congress, including support for Ukraine. The six-month path is now over. No matter what anyone says, we are securing the support we need to further protect lives from Russian attacks. These days, we have been working with our American friends at all levels as actively as possible to quickly fill this package from the United States with the weapons our warriors need. From ATACMS and artillery, anti-tank weapons and HIMARS munitions to the necessary air defense systems and vehicles. I am grateful to President Biden, the U.S. Congress, and all Americans who realize the need to take the wind out of Putin's sails, not to submit to him, as only then will there truly be fewer threats to freedom. Together we can make this happen. I thank all Americans working in the defense industry. I am grateful to each state that produces weapons that are now truly defending democracy and our way of life. Our entire cooperation – of Ukraine and the United States, every manifestation of support for our defense now – strengthens both our nations and all our partners, the entire world that wants to live by the rules, not in violence and chaos. Now we will do everything to compensate for the six months that have passed in debate and doubt. We must turn what the Russian occupier has managed to do over this time and what Putin is planning now against him. All his actions at the front, all his attacks on our energy sector and infrastructure, all his terror against our cities and villages – all this should mobilize us, everyone in the world who really values life, to put more pressure on Russia. It is very important to implement all of our agreements with President Biden one hundred percent. Thank you, America!

The dominance of gambling advertising and gambling addiction, especially among the military at the front, has reached alarming proportions! All this did not leave Pavlo Petrychenko, a soldier of the 59th Brigade, indifferent. He initiated a petition to the President on the need for an immediate response to the damage that gambling is doing to the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian society, which was supported by over 26,000 citizens. The author of the petition died defending Ukraine, but his cause lives on. The National Security and Defence Council made a corresponding decision, and today the Verkhovna Rada voted in favour of draft law No. 9256-1 in the first reading. The draft law provides for amendments to certain laws of Ukraine on the organisation and conduct of gambling and lotteries. The Vice Speaker Olena Kondratiuk Facebook / Website Instagram / X

Today, we answered history’s call at this critical inflection point. With the signing of our national security package, we tell the world that America stands resolutely for democracy and freedom, and against tyranny and oppression, — the U.S. President Joe Biden wrote on X. Today, the U.S. President Joe Biden signed the Aid Bill for Ukraine into law. According to a statement from the White House after the U.S. Senate passed the act, weapons and necessary equipment will be sent to Ukraine this week. Prior to that, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the act on 20 April. Facebook / Website Instagram / X

🇺🇦🇺🇸 On behalf of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to U.S. President Joseph Biden for immediately signing the law providing for assistance to Ukraine. This assistance is of great importance at such a difficult time for us. Ukraine highly appreciates the strong and consistent position of the U.S. Administration, the bipartisan and bicameral support of the U.S. Congress, and the solidarity of the entire American people. Today, Ukraine continues to resist russian aggression, defending its land from the enemy. And the Ukrainian people have the will and determination to fight for their free future.
