This resolution affirms that it is United States policy to allow Ukraine to use American-supplied long-range missiles to strike military targets inside Russia. The measure, introduced in December 2024, builds on the Biden administration's November 2024 decision to lift restrictions on Ukrainian use of these weapons and frames the authorization as necessary to defend Ukraine against Russian attacks on its infrastructure, military forces, and civilians. The resolution emphasizes that Russia has escalated its assault by recruiting North Korean soldiers, obtaining North Korean weapons systems, and partnering with Iran to supply drones and missiles, while targeting Ukrainian power grids and killing thousands of civilians and troops. The sponsors argue that previous concerns about escalation—including from Russia itself—have not materialized despite the United States providing increasingly sophisticated weapons like HIMARS, Patriot systems, and F-16 fighter jets. The resolution contains no new funding or specific timeline but serves as a statement of congressional intent regarding American military support policy for Ukraine.
