RDI launched the Ukraine Sanctions Tracker after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine to monitor and assess democratic countries’ commitments to aid Ukraine and weaken the Russian war machine.
RDI hosted Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs, align with soldiers on the frontlines for a special briefing on the war just weeks after Putin’s forces invaded. RDI is a stalwart advocate for providing Ukraine everything it needs to preserve its sovereignty and democratic government.
RDI brought together 84 political dissidents from oppressive countries all over the world to release a statement on the meaning of the war in Ukraine and why additional aid to Ukraine is essential. As they say, “these dictators don’t stop; they are stopped.”
In Frontlines of Freedom, RDI united 52 dissidents from 28 countries to create a first-of-its-kind dissident network. In an open letter, videos, written pieces, & events, these RDI Freedom Fellows give us the tools to challenge dictators and fight for democracy.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
