And AVU members and allies are invited.

It's a special chance to see this essential work in person—with Q&A's with the director and other people involved with the film. If you live in the New York area, this is a rare opportunity you do not want to miss.

Because looking away lets Putin win. And keeping the pressure on is the key to victory.

Thank you for standing with us.

Slava Ukraine!🇺🇸🇺🇦

The strategy is working, but we can't let them lose focus now. And we can't allow them to look away. Even when the images are horrible and the destruction is unthinkable.

Hope is not a plan. AVU is.

44% of Americans don't think we're doing enough to support Ukraine, but that's not enough to break through. We need to ramp the pressure up—in Congress, the White House, locally at home, in the media and online.

And as Israel's attacks on Iran take the focus of the media and politicians, we have to keep Ukraine front and center. And this only happens if we make them listen. In the attention economy, nothing is more important. Sadly. But we have to acknowledge the landscape and respond accordingly.

The deaths included a 62-year-old American civilian and occurred when a missile hit a residential complex. It's another war crime in a long list of war crimes, but this time it hits closer to home here in America.

And every day more and more Americans are siding with them and turning their backs on Russia's criminal invasion.

And this morning, we awoke to news that over 400 drones and 32 missiles had been fired at Kyiv overnight resulting in at least 15 deaths and 100+ injured as Putin's brutality continues.

...created AVU. To amplify our voices as veterans. And to help Americans better understand Ukraine–and the brave Ukrainian people.

From the battlefields to the ballfields.

Until victory.

Thank you for standing with us.

Slava Ukraine! God bless America! And PLAY BALL!🇺🇸🇺🇦

...St. Petersburg, Florida. For another matchup. And another big win.

And AVU was proud to help welcome the Ukrainian National team to America and with open arms. And we encourage you to get out and do the same.

They're doing what they can to spread the message. And so is AVU.

That is why we...

...Ukraine–anda message of hope that shows their humanity and fight. And also presents a way for them to connect to the people who have somehow remained unmoved. Or don't follow news and politics.

After a big win in Brooklyn, New York against a team of European All-Stars, they traveled on to...

...huge boost for Ukrainian morale as they fight back against Putin's oppression daily.

The Ukrainian National baseball team is an awesome part of that story.

These brave player ambassadors are just wrapping up a tour of the US, where they spread the message of the need to support...

...forced to suffer through, they've made a point to maintain as much normalcy as possible. To keep the things that they are fighting for front and center. Especially sports. From boxing to soccer, Ukrainian athletes have shown the world the strength and excellence of Ukraine.

Sports have been a...

be the best versions of ourselves at big moments. Most of us dreamt about playing in the big leagues as kids–and for many of us the passion and fandom will be with us for the rest of our lives.

And for the people of Ukraine it is no different.

Despite the brutal criminal invasion they are...
