[From the editors: The following is a statement made in Kyiv on July 4 by the President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, Andy Hunder.]
As Americans celebrate Independence Day, here in Ukraine, we endured a night of terror – 500 Russian aerial attacks across the country, including in central Kyiv.

The cost is staggering. More than 50% of the 600 members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine have suffered direct damage to their offices, factories, and infrastructure during the war. American business is being destroyed by Russia.
We are calling on the US Administration, on the White House, and on Donald J. Trump to act – to protect American business in Ukraine by urgently providing the defensive equipment needed to stop these attacks.
America was built on the values of independence, freedom, and justice.
Ukraine is fighting for those very same principles today.
Together, we stand united.
