IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 

APRIL 25, 2023 

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina (for himself, Mr. COHEN, Mr. FITZPATRICK, 

Ms. KAPTUR, Mr. QUIGLEY, Mr. LAMBORN, Mr. PASCRELL, Ms. SALAZAR, Mr. BOYLE of Pennsylvania, Mr. LAWLER, Mr. DOGGETT, Mr. HUDSON, Ms. ROSS, Mr. COSTA, Ms. JACKSON LEE, Mr. CLEAVER, Mr.

RESOLUTION 

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives on 

Ukrainian victory. 

Whereas Ukraine regained its independence in 1991 after 

three centuries of Moscow’s imperial rule; 

Whereas the United States encouraged Ukraine to abandon 

its arsenal of nuclear weapons, the third largest in the 

world at the time, in exchange for security assurances in 

the Budapest Memorandum of 1994; 

Whereas the 2004 Orange Revolution and the Revolution of 

Dignity in 2014 demonstrated the commitment of 

Ukrainians to shared ideals of democracy and freedom 

and their desire for Euroatlantic integration;

Whereas the initial Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014 

demonstrated the Russian regime’s imperial fixation on 

controlling Ukraine, as well as the determination of the 

Ukrainian people to preserve their sovereignty and independence; 

Whereas the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, grossly violating international norms, costing hundreds of thousands of people 

their lives, and displacing millions; 

Whereas, in 2014, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022, the United 

Nations General Assembly affirmed the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and in November 2022 called on member 

states to create a mechanism for reparations to be paid 

to Ukraine; 

Whereas, on February 18, 2023, the United States issued a 

finding that officials of the Russian Federation have committed crimes against humanity; 

Whereas the threat to United States interests, European security, and global peace would greatly increase should 

Ukraine be unable to prevail against the invasion, by 

emboldening the Russian Federation and other autocratic 

states to engage in aggression against other states; 

Whereas previous attempts to accommodate the Russian Federation’s imperialism have resulted only in increasingly 

ruinous wars of aggression, anything short of victory for 

Ukraine would be an intolerable outcome for international peace, human rights, and democracy; and 

Whereas United States interests, European security, and the 

cause of international peace depend on ensuring continued, robust, and longstanding United States support for 

Ukraine and all free nations from wars of aggression by

7 victory must be secured by integrating Ukraine into 

8 the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other 

9 Euroatlantic institutions, as consistent with long10 standing United States policy, including the explicit

13 Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO. 

14 We agreed today that these countries will become
