Pascrell, Colleagues Lead Ukraine Victory Resolution
Washington, DC,
May 2, 2023
Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) joined 18 colleagues in introducing the Ukraine Victory Resolution in the House of Representatives last week. The bipartisan resolution affirms that it is the policy of the United States to see Ukraine victorious against the Russian invasion, holds that the peace brought by victory must be secured by integrating Ukraine into NATO, and declares that the United States must work with its allies and partners to secure reparations, reconstruction, justice for Russian war crimes, and accountability for Russian leaders. "For the last two years, the Ukrainian people have been fighting for their very survival,” said Congressman Pascrell. “Russia is pursuing a war of extermination against Ukraine. Russians are butchering women and children, destroying cities, and seeking nothing less than the very extinguishment of Ukraine as a nation-state. Against all odds, Ukraine has fought back and is winning. But Ukraine can only expel the invaders with the full, unremitting help of the civilized world. I have long supported military aid to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. We must arm Ukraine with the weapons it needs to ensure Ukrainian victory and save countless innocent lives. Our resolution today reaffirms our unwavering committment to an absolute Ukrainian victory." |
