NEWS from UCCA's National Office & UNIS:
Yanukovich at the UN – Let’s Send Him A Message – Ukraine Is Not For Sale!
On September 22-23, Ukraine’s president Viktor Yanukovich will be in New York City to address
the General Assembly at the United Nations. Since his election to office, the pro-Russian
President has taken alarming steps to compromise Ukraine’s national identity and sovereignty.
In the past few months we have witnessed:
- the unconstitutional extension of the lease for the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea;
- the rising dependence on Russia to provide for Ukraine’s security and stability which poses a
definite threat to Ukraine’s sovereignty
- the denial of the Holodomor as an act of genocide and its removal from the official presidential
website;
- recent censorship of the press, particularly targeting several independent Ukrainian television
stations;
- the new government’s move to control the judicial system by granting the president power over
the hiring and firing of judges;
- the non-block status of Ukraine which threatens Ukraine’s EuroAtlantic integration and future
NATO membership.
Let us show our disdain for the president’s policies and tell him that, as proud Ukrainians, we
firmly uphold and vehemently defend a strong, self-sufficient, independent state where
Ukrainians are free to express their opinions, are cognizant of their culture and history and are
proud of their unique heritage!
The time is NOW! We cannot allow President Yanukovych to threaten Ukraine's freedom any
longer!!! We must defend Ukraine’s integrity and sovereignty!
JOIN THE PROTEST!
Wednesday, September 22, from 5:30-7:30PM

located on 51st Street, between 2nd and 3rd Aves. New York City.
