Our hearts break for Kyiv

August 29, 2025 by CYOA Administrator

Yesterday, russia launched its second-largest air attack on the city, killing at least 22 innocent people, including four children, and injuring 48+ more. 

Entire families shattered. Lives stolen. Children left without parents. Parents grieving their children.

This is not peace. This is terrorism by a criminal state that seeks Ukraine’s destruction.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Kyiv and all of Ukraine – and with the grieving families who have lost so much.

But prayers are not enough. Australia must act:

✅ Increase aid – more military support and critical equipment for Ukraine’s emergency services to save lives and help Ukraine defend its people and territory
✅ Close the sanctions loophole – that lets russian-linked fuel enter Australia, funding the bombs and missiles killing Ukrainians.
✅ Apply stronger diplomatic pressure – speak out and push for war crimes accountability.

Every day the world delays, more Ukrainians die. Take action now.

📧 Write to your MP: afuo.org.au/campaign-for-ukraine

💙💛 Stand with Ukraine. Stand for peace. Stand for justice.
