This resolution strongly condemns Russia's ongoing and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, specifically highlighting its devastating aerial bombardment campaigns that have resulted in numerous civilian deaths and injuries. It emphasizes Russia's use of increasingly advanced ballistic missiles, including those reportedly supplied by North Korea, which have obliterated over half of Ukraine's power generation capacity and terrorized its population. The resolution notes that sophisticated air defense systems are crucial for Ukraine to counter these advanced missile threats. The Senate calls upon the President to take swift action to identify and transfer additional advanced air defense systems, such as PATRIOT and NASAMS , from existing United States stocks to Ukraine. It also urges the President to rapidly approve the re-export of U.S. air defense systems by allies and partners to further bolster Ukraine's layered defense capabilities. These measures are deemed essential for protecting Ukrainian lives and critical infrastructure. Furthermore, the resolution expresses support for the continued and uninterrupted provision of United States security assistance, including training, advisory support, and intelligence, to Ukraine. This assistance aims to strengthen Ukraine's position in direct discussions with the Russian Federation to secure a lasting peace. The resolution reaffirms the U.S. policy to provide sustainable levels of security assistance to support Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and democracy.
