IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 24, 2025 
Mr. PANETTA (for himself, Mr. WILSON of South Carolina, Mr. KEATING, and 
Mr. BACON) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing three years of Ukraine defending its sovereign 
territory against the Russian Federation’s second 
unprovoked assault and full-scale invasion. 
Whereas, on February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation 
launched its second unprovoked assault and full-scale in-
vasion against Ukraine; 
Whereas, for three years, the people of Ukraine have with-
stood this full-scale invasion with extraordinary resilience, 
despite facing a military and economy twice the size of 
its own, confronting foreign troops from the Democratic 
People’s Republic of Korea, and being targeted with 
weapons provided by the Islamic Republic of Iran and the 
People’s Republic of China;

Whereas the Russian Federation has orchestrated a brutal 
war of attrition, seeking to undermine Ukrainian morale 
by using sexual assault and rape as a weapon of war, 
forced deportation of Ukranian children, targeting energy 
infrastructure in harsh winter conditions, using chemical 
weapons against Ukrainians, shelling residential areas, 
including schools and hospitals, and using vile war tactics 
to maim the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians; 
Whereas, despite the Russian Federation’s efforts to destroy 
Ukraine, the Ukrainian people are rebuilding infrastruc-
ture that was leveled by Russian missiles, adapting swift-
ly and tactfully to stay ahead of changing battlefield dy-
namics, have successfully targeted Russian military as-
sets that provided weapons used against Ukraine, have 
held territory inside of Russia, and continue to fight he-
roically for their country’s sovereignty and right to exist 
as an independent nation; 
Whereas the Ukrainian military has recaptured thousands of 
miles of territory since the war began; 
Whereas the Kursk offensive was a remarkable demonstration 
of combined arms maneuver, effective use of the informa-
tion and intelligence space in a nearly transparent battle-
field, and successful electronic warfare to degrade Rus-
sian forces’ intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance 
capabilities; 
Whereas, despite the mobilization of North Korean soldiers 
inside Kursk and the use of Iranian-supplied weapons, 
Ukrainian soldiers continue to defend their territory and 
have applied lessons learned in counter-drone operations, 
electronic warfare, mobility support, and tank-infantry 
integration;

Whereas Ukraine has eliminated nearly 3,689 Russian tanks, 
thousands of armored combat vehicles, 5 ships, and 458 
smaller craft; 
Whereas Ukraine’s soldiers, volunteers, and wartime indus-
trial base have offered the United States valuable in-
sights on producing strategic outputs quickly and effec-
tively to respond to changing battlefield dynamics; 
Whereas the people of Ukraine have continued to work to-
ward reforms to strengthen their democratic governance 
and improve their economy; and 
Whereas the people of Ukraine will continue to fight against 
the Russian Federation’s war against their country, in-
cluding by pursuing their goals and ambitions while hon-
oring Ukrainian history and culture: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) stands unequivocally with the people of 
Ukraine as they continue to defend their people and 
territory in the third year of the Russian Federa-
tion’s 
unprovoked 
full-scale 
invasion 
against 
Ukraine; 
(2) condemns the Russian Federation’s full- 
scale invasion into Ukraine and its subsequent col-
laboration with the Democratic People’s Republic of 
Korea, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Peo-
ple’s Republic of China to conduct crimes against 
humanity including by providing soldiers and weap-
ons to use against the Ukrainian people;

(3) supports the continued collaboration among 
key allies and partners of the United States to 
strengthen Ukraine’s military, governance, and econ-

provided material and personnel support; and

the Ukrainian people as they fight to preserve their 
territory, culture, and history from the Russian Fed-
