Whereas the people of Ukraine have fought bravely and hero-
ically for their independence, sovereignty, territorial in-
tegrity, and political independence, including their choice 
of democracy for Ukraine; 
Whereas the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of 
Ukraine has caused immense human suffering within 
Ukraine and around the world, and fueled conflicts with-
in the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine, 
Georgia, and Moldova and violated their territorial integ-
rity, resulting in Russia’s occupation of parts of eastern 
and southern Ukraine, Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and 
the city of Sevastopol, and Georgia’s regions of Abkhazia 
and South Ossetia as well as a violation of its neighbors; 
Whereas the Lukashenka regime in Belarus is complicit in 
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and has allowed 
the Russian military to use Belarusian territory to attack 
Ukraine; 
Whereas the direct targeting of civilians and civilian infra-
structure is a violation of international law, and Russia’s 
attacks have resulted in the death of countless Ukrainian 
civilians across the country; 
Whereas the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of 
Ukraine has resulted in the displacement of millions of 
Ukrainian 
civilians 
both 
internally 
and 
abroad, 
disproportionally affecting the lives of women and chil-
dren in Ukraine; 
Whereas the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of 
Ukraine has impeded the export of vital global food sup-
plies resulting in increased food insecurity for the world’s 
most vulnerable populations;

Whereas the Russian Federation’s military tactics and cal-
culations have led to outright failure in Ukraine; 
Whereas an immense amount of compelling evidence has al-
ready been collected indicating that members of the Rus-
sian military have committed a wide variety of atrocity 
crimes in Ukraine and against the Ukrainian people; 
Whereas efforts to achieve justice and accountability for 
atrocity crimes committed by members of Russia’s forces 
in Ukraine have been organized on a national and inter-
national level; and 
Whereas the Russian Federation’s unprecedented full-scale 
invasion of Ukraine has reached a critical point requiring 
immediate and decisive action by the international com-
munity: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns in the strongest terms the Rus-
sian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine; 
(2) calls on the Russian Federation to cease its 
war of aggression against Ukraine and remove all of 
its troops from the internationally recognized bor-
ders of Ukraine; 
(3) supports the people of Ukraine in their de-
fense of their country’s freedom, independence, and 
democracy; 
(4) recognizes the immense bravery and resil-
ience shown by the people of Ukraine in the face of 
Russia’s unbridled aggression;
