Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution reaffirms the United States' support for Ukraine's sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity as Russia's invasion enters its third year. It condemns Russia's war crimes, targeting of civilians, and the forced deportation of Ukrainian children. The text recognizes the extraordinary resilience of the Ukrainian people and the catastrophic military losses suffered by Russia. It demands the immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from all Ukrainian territory, including Crimea and the Donbas. The measure also calls for the safe return of kidnapped children and the prosecution of Russian leaders for war crimes. Finally, it stresses that any future discussions and peace deals regarding Ukraine must include Ukraine and its European allies.
