Bill > SCR189

This concurrent resolution, originating from the Hawaii State Legislature, urges the President of the United States and Congress to provide Ukraine with the necessary weaponry to defend itself against Russian aggression and to reclaim its internationally recognized territory. The resolution highlights Ukraine's independence, its past disarmament under the Budapest Memorandum in exchange for security guarantees that Russia has since violated, and the ongoing devastating impact of Russia's full-scale invasion since February 2022, including significant civilian and military casualties, widespread displacement, and the destruction of critical infrastructure. It also specifically urges President Trump to negotiate the withdrawal of all Russian forces from Ukraine and expresses the state's solidarity with the Ukrainian people, with certified copies to be sent to various U.S. federal officials and the Governor of Hawaii.
