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 inde-
pendence; 
Whereas the Russian Federation launched a full-scale inva-
sion of Ukraine in February 2022, grossly violating inter-
national 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 integ-
rity 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 com-
mitted crimes against humanity; 
Whereas the threat to United States interests, European se-
curity, 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 Fed-
eration’s imperialism have resulted only in increasingly 
ruinous wars of aggression, anything short of victory for 
Ukraine would be an intolerable outcome for inter-
national peace, human rights, and democracy; and 
Whereas United States interests, European security, and the 
cause of international peace depend on ensuring contin-
ued, robust, and longstanding United States support for 
Ukraine and all free nations from wars of aggression by

Russia and its proxies, allies, or other autocratic states: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) affirms that it is the policy of the United 
States to see Ukraine victorious against the invasion 
and restored to its internationally recognized 1991 
borders; 
(2) holds that the peace brought by Ukrainian 
victory must be secured by integrating Ukraine into 
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other 
Euroatlantic institutions, as consistent with long-
standing United States policy, including the explicit 
statement in the 2008 Bucharest Summit Declara-
tion, ‘‘NATO welcomes Ukraine’s and Georgia’s 
Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO. 
We agreed today that these countries will become 
members of NATO.’’; and 
(3) declares that the United States must work 
with its allies and partners to ensure that— 
(A) the Russian Federation pays repara-
tions to Ukraine; 
(B) the global community helps to rebuild 
Ukraine; 
(C) the leaders of the Russian Federation 
are held accountable for this war of aggression; 
and
