On June 6th, a major catastrophe happened in Kherson region, Ukraine. The Kakhovka dam sustained a premeditated attack by Russian occupying forces leading to a widespread flooding and a humanitarian crisis. The full scope of damage will be assessed for weeks to come but what we know now is that entire villages are submerged, people are missing, and thousands of families are displaced. The Cactus and Tryzub advocacy team urges you to contact your congressmen to take action on S.Res. 72 and H.Res. 154 and recognize Russia's actions, like the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, as genocide. Time and time again, Russia's actions prove that war crimes committed in Ukraine amount to genocide as defined by the Genocide Convention. This is an important piece of legislature which underscores the seriousness of crimes committed in Ukraine and reaffirms America's commitment to our fundamental principles. |
