Bill > SR006

This resolution commemorates the three-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, highlighting the devastating impact of the war and expressing support for the Ukrainian people. The document details the significant human and economic toll of the conflict, noting that over 200,000 military personnel and civilians have lost their lives, more than 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced, and over $157 billion in property damage has occurred, with many towns like Mariupol experiencing near-total destruction. The resolution specifically commends Ukraine Power, a Colorado Springs-based nonprofit organization, for delivering nearly $400,000 worth of supplies to Ukrainians. The Colorado State Senate resolves to support the Ukrainian people's courageous defense of their homeland, recognize the humanitarian crisis affecting nearly 15 million Ukrainians (including over 6 million children), and urge all parties involved to pursue a just and sustainable peace that preserves Ukraine's sovereign independence and traditional boundaries. Additionally, the resolution directs copies of the document to be sent to Ukraine Power, the Ukrainian Embassy, the president, and Ukrainians of Colorado.
