Bill > SR129

This resolution urges the United States Congress to continue providing funding and support to the Ukrainian military in its defense against Russian aggression. The resolution highlights the context of Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and the ongoing conflict, which has resulted in significant human casualties, including 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed, 370,000 wounded, and 30,457 verified civilian casualties. It notes that 3.7 million people have been internally displaced and 40% of Ukraine's population requires humanitarian assistance. The resolution emphasizes that previous U.S. aid has enabled Ukraine to defend itself and launch counteroffensives, and it calls for continued assistance to help Ukraine effectively manage the crisis. Additionally, the resolution affirms support and solidarity with the Ukrainian people and requests that copies of the resolution be sent to key U.S. government officials, including the President, House Speaker, Senate President Pro Tempore, and Hawaii's congressional delegation.
