SEC. 204. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING 
CRISIS IN UKRAINE. 
It is the sense of Congress that Russia’s aggression 
in Ukraine targeting civilians and non-military infrastruc-
ture has led to millions to flee their homes—90 percent 
of them being women and children according to the United 
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees—creating a hu-
manitarian and human trafficking crisis, as Russian 
President Putin continues to wage the largest and most 
lethal war in Europe since World War II.
