Bill > SR51

This resolution condemns Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, and has resulted in significant military and civilian casualties, with the United Nations verifying over 41,783 civilian casualties as of January 2025. The resolution, passed by the Ohio State Senate of the 136th General Assembly, specifically condemns the attack, expresses continued prayers for the Ukrainian people affected by the war, and affirms Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity as guaranteed by international law principles. Recognizing that Ohio is home to more than 44,000 people of Ukrainian descent, with the largest community in Northeast Ohio, the resolution calls for solidarity with Ukraine and directs the Senate Clerk to distribute authenticated copies of the resolution to Ohio's Congressional delegation and news media. The document serves as an official statement of support for Ukraine during the third year of its conflict with Russia.
