Whereas, on February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin and the 
Russian State initiated the violent invasion of Ukraine; 
Whereas Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, intended to achieve 
Vladimir Putin’s goal of conquering all of Ukraine, has 
proven to be a failure; 
Whereas, after 2 years of war in Ukraine, the Ukrainian peo-
ple continue to demonstrate their commitment to defeat-
ing Russia and building a just and free democratic soci-
ety; 
Whereas the war being perpetrated against Ukraine today 
takes place in the context of a long history of occupation 
and persecution against it by authoritarian powers in-
cluding Russia, the Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany; 
Whereas over 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed and 
nearly 20,000 wounded by deliberate and indiscriminate 
Russian strikes against Ukraine; 
Whereas over 19,000 Ukrainian-born children have been ille-
gally abducted by Russian forces and sympathizers and 
taken to Russian-occupied territory or Russia in an at-
tempt to forcibly turn them into Russian citizens and 
erase their Ukrainian heritage; 
Whereas roughly 10,000,000 Ukrainians have been displaced 
from their homes as a result of Russia’s invasion, includ-
ing 3,700,000 internally in Ukraine and 6,300,000 who 
have been forced to leave the country; 
Whereas 14,600,000 people are in need of humanitarian as-
sistance in Ukraine, representing over one quarter of 
Ukraine’s prewar population; 
Whereas the total value of the physical destruction to 
Ukraine’s infrastructure, including schools, religious and 
cultural sites, hospitals, homes, businesses, government

estimated 
to

over 
$400,000,000,000; 
Whereas over 100,000 instances of potential war crimes com-
mitted by Russian forces, including the intentional tar-
geting of civilians, sexual violence, torture, mass murder, 
and other crimes against humanity, have been recorded; 
Whereas the International Criminal Court has indicted Vladi-
mir Putin for his role in the war crime of unlawful depor-
tation of children and transfer from Ukraine to Russia; 
Whereas the involvement of China, Iran, and North Korea in 
furthering the violence being committed against Ukraine, 
is evidence of the increasing coordination of an emerging 
‘‘Axis of Tyranny’’, whose primary intention is to sow in-
stability at the expense of innocent civilians and as a 
means of undermining the security of the free world; 
Whereas, aside from individual international volunteers, 
Ukraine has fought this war entirely with Ukrainian per-
sonnel; 
Whereas with aid from the United States and its allies, 
Ukraine has liberated 50 percent of all territory that was 
once occupied by Russia; 
Whereas Ukraine has destroyed as much as 40 percent of 
Russia’s entire fighting military forces, including over 
300,000 Russian casualties or as much as 90 percent of 
Russia’s estimated initial invasion force; and 
Whereas, since Ukraine’s successful repulsing of Russia’s ini-
tial invasion, the Ukrainian people have inspired the 
world through its heroic stand for democratic values: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
