U.S. Senator Curtis, member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today joined Senator Shaheen, Senator Tillis, and a bipartisan group of colleagues in introducing a resolution acknowledging the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The resolution expresses the U.S. Senate’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity while condemning Russia’s illegal aggression and attempts to seize Ukrainian territory. It also commends NATO, the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, and the international community for their continued efforts to support Ukraine’s defense and the protection of human rights on its territory, recognizes Ukraine’s democratic progress during wartime, and emphasizes Ukraine’s right to be included in any discussions with Russia about its future.
