On August 15, 2025, Alaska is hosting a meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. The summit’s program includes talks between the U.S. and Russian leaders, but in a “three-on-three” format. The main topic on the agenda is the war in Ukraine.
Stand UP Alaska united the community to unfurl one of the world’s largest Ukrainian flags, graciously provided by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the USA (Українська Православна Церква США).
United Help Ukraine was honored to coordinate the logistics to bring it from New Jersey to Alaska in time for this historic and meaningful moment for Ukraine.
Special thanks to Doug Ward for making the journey of the flag possible.
To the people of Alaska and everyone who traveled to be here — thank you for standing with Ukraine.
Reports suggest a potential “deal” that would force Ukraine to surrender territories to Russia.
Pokrovsk. Kostiantynivka. Communities still outside Russian control — home to families who have endured years of shelling, loss, and displacement — could be handed to an aggressor guilty of mass executions, torture, and the erasure of Ukrainian identity.
This would reward what Russia failed to seize on the battlefield and send the message that aggression works.
We cannot let this happen.
Tell Congress: No deals that reward aggression.
Demand tougher sanctions on countries fueling Russia’s war.
Take action now.
Only peace through strength will protect Ukraine’s people and freedom.
Honoring Ambassador Oksana Markarova’s Leadership and Legacy
