The bipartisan resolution has 35 co-sponsors from across the Congressional Ukraine Caucus.\n\n\u201cTwo years ago tomorrow, Vladimir Putin drove his tanks right at the heart of Ukraine, in an illegal, brutal, and unprovoked war of aggression. For two years, the world has witnessed a sovereign nation\u2014the poorest in Europe\u2014fight for its precious Liberty against the 3rd largest military in the world,\u201d said Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), Co-Founder and Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. \u201cAnd yet, the Ukrainian people have bravely fought to cast off the yoke of Putin\u2019s Tyranny. Our nation and our allies have a responsibility to stand with Ukraine in her time of great need. That is why, I am proud to lead my fellow members of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus in introducing this new House Resolution to commemorate the effort on the part of Ukraine and her people as they stand on the scrimmage line for Liberty.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt has been two years since the despot Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, ruthless war against Ukraine,\u201d said Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Co-Chair of the Ukraine Caucus. \u201cCountless innocent Ukrainians have been slaughtered, as well as many fallen soldiers who died in defense of their sovereign homeland. Their sacrifice cannot be in vain. The United States and our allies have an obligation to ensure Ukraine prevails over Putin. Democracies must continue to stand up and stand together so that freedom prevails.\u201d\n\n\u201cIn the immediate aftermath of Putin\u2019s brutal invasion, Congress stood united and ready to help Ukraine defend itself. Two years later, we must reawaken that same unyielding commitment to the preservation of democracy,\u201d said Congressman Mike Quigley (IL-05), Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. \u201cIn observance of the invasion, I ask my colleagues to choose freedom over tyranny. I ask them to stand on the right side of history and pass the additional aid Ukraine needs to turn the tide. We must do this for Ukraine and for the fate of the free world for generations to come.\u201d\n\n\u201cTomorrow marks two years since Vladimir Putin began the brutal and illegal invasion of Ukraine. In that time, the Ukrainian people have demonstrated extraordinary courage and resolve in the face of evil and have bravely faced down the onslaught of unprovoked Russian aggression on their lives and in their country. I am proud to join my fellow Congressional Ukraine Caucus Members in introducing this new House Resolution to commemorate Ukraine as she stands against the continued, unprovoked, and illegal Russian aggression,\u201d said Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01), Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus.\n\nOther Representatives who have co-sponsored the resolution include Congressional Ukraine Caucus Members: Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Joe Wilson (SC-02), Greg Landsman (OH-01), Victoria Spartz (IN-05), Joe Morelle (NY-25), Bill Pascrell (NJ-09), Brendan Boyle (PA-02), Jake Auchincloss (MA-04), Lloyd Doggett (TX-37), Dina Titus (NV-01), Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL-20), Jim Himes (CT-04), Eric Swalwell (CA-14), David Joyce (OH-14), Jason Crow (CO-05), Josh Gottheimer (NJ-05), Sean Casten (IL-06), Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08), Dan Goldman (NY-10), Susan Wild (PA-07), Danny Davis (IL-07), Dwight Evans (PA-03), Jan Schakowsky (IL-09), Andre Carson (IN-07), Ami Bera (CA-06), Steve Cohen (TN-09), Kweisi Mfume (MD-07), Jim Costa (CA-21), Madeleine Dean (PA-04), John Garamendi (CA-08), and Ted Lieu (CA-36).", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T20:21:00Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://harris.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-harris-joins-fellow-ukraine-caucus-co-chairs-joint-statement"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9609577246010303, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
