Congressman Boyle Honored as Exemplary “Friend of Ukraine” for Efforts in Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-13), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was honored at the 40th Anniversary celebration of the Ukrainian National Information Service with a "Friend of Ukraine" Award for his work in Congress on behalf of the Ukrainian-American community and a strong, democratic Ukraine.

"I am honored to receive this award, and proud to call myself a friend of Ukraine," said Congressman Boyle. "I remain fiercely committed to advocating for a strong and independent Ukraine, and combatting the Russian aggression that threatens democracy everywhere. We cannot forget that the war for a free and peaceful Europe is unfolding right now in Ukraine, and we must be vigilant in our defense of Ukrainian sovereignty. I'm proud to represent a vibrant, flourishing community of Ukrainian-Americans, and I won't stop fighting here in Washington in support of our important ally, Ukraine."

Congressman Boyle has been an outspoken advocate for robust American support for Ukraine. Earlier this year he introduced H.R. 1997, the Ukraine Cybersecurity Cooperation Act, legislation to encourage cooperation between the United States and Ukraine on matters of cybersecurity and require State Department reporting to Congress on best practices to protect against future cyber attacks.
