This Senate resolution celebrates Ukraine's 35th anniversary of independence from the Soviet Union, which occurred on August 24, 1991. The resolution honors Ukraine's democratic journey, including major protest movements like the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Euromaidan protests in 2013, while condemning Russia's illegal 2014 annexation of Crimea and its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Senate recognizes over 16,000 Ukrainian civilian deaths and numerous military casualties since the invasion began, and affirms continued U.S. support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The resolution encourages the U.S. Government to provide strong security guarantees to Ukraine, work toward a lasting peace agreement, and learn from Ukraine's military innovations in drone warfare and defense technology. As a resolution rather than legislation, this does not create new laws or require funding, but instead expresses the Senate's official position and support for Ukraine.
