Razom for Ukraine

Razom for Ukraine is a Ukrainian-American non-profit advocacy organisation based in New York, founded in 2014 following Russia's annexation of Crimea. The organisation mobilises the Ukrainian diaspora and US supporters to lobby Congress for military and financial support for Ukraine, organises aid shipments, and runs public communications campaigns to maintain US political attention on the war. 'Razom' means 'together' in Ukrainian.

Razom has grown substantially since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, expanding its fundraising, diaspora network activation, and congressional engagement significantly. The organisation has been particularly active in 2026 as US military support for Ukraine faces political headwinds from the America First wing of the Republican Party, including figures such as Rep Anna Paulina Luna, whose invitation of sanctioned Russian Duma members to Congress drew sharp criticism from Ukrainian-American community organisations.

Razom operates at a critical junction in Ukrainian-American political engagement: as Ukraine shifts toward an autonomous war-fighting model with Gulf partnerships replacing weakening Western aid flows, diaspora organisations like Razom face the challenge of sustaining US public and congressional attention at a moment when the Trump administration's posture toward Ukraine has grown ambivalent. Their congressional lobbying role is unlikely to diminish while the war continues.
