The U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) is proud to announce that Razom for Ukraine, a leading U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Ukraine’s development and resilience, has transitioned from an associate member to a full member of the Council.

Razom, which means “together” in Ukrainian, has been an associate member of USUBC for many years, making significant contributions to humanitarian aid, healthcare, advocacy, and cultural exchange programs. Since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Razom has delivered over $139 million in aid, providing lifesaving medical supplies, supporting Ukraine’s frontline defenders, and advocating for robust international support. Their elevation to full membership—with voting rights—reflects their vital role in advancing Ukraine’s interests on the global stage.
“Razom has been a key partner in our shared mission to strengthen U.S.-Ukraine relations and support Ukraine during its most challenging times,” said Irina Paliashvili, President of the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC). “Their leadership and innovative programs exemplify the spirit of resilience and cooperation. We are delighted to welcome Razom as a full member of USUBC and look forward to amplifying their impact in advocacy and humanitarian efforts.”
Mykola Murskyi, Director of Advocacy at Razom for Ukraine, remarked, “Joining the U.S.-Ukraine Business Council as a full member solidifies our commitment to Ukraine’s long-term recovery and international integration. Together with USUBC, we will continue to advocate for policies and programs that empower Ukraine and its people.”
Razom’s full membership marks a new chapter in their engagement with USUBC, combining their grassroots humanitarian impact with the Council’s expansive business network. This cooperation reinforces the shared vision of a secure, independent, and thriving Ukraine.
