This resolution commemorates the second anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and honors the sacrifices of the Ukrainian people in defending their nation. The resolution documents the human and material costs of the war, including over 10,000 Ukrainian civilian deaths, nearly 20,000 wounded, approximately 10 million displaced people, and more than 400 billion dollars in destroyed infrastructure. It also addresses alleged Russian war crimes, including the unlawful deportation of over 19,000 Ukrainian children, and notes the involvement of China, Iran, and North Korea in supporting Russia's military efforts. The House of Representatives expresses its commitment to Ukraine's defense, condemns Vladimir Putin and his regime, and recognizes Ukraine's fight as essential to European and global security. This is a commemorative resolution with no funding or direct policy changes, serving primarily to formally document Congressional support for Ukraine and opposition to the Russian invasion.
