Supporting the Ukrainian people and recognizing their contributions to 
                           the State of Ohio.

Whereas, on February 24, 2022, Russian forces, enabled by Belarus, launched an 
        unprovoked wide-scale attack on the peaceful, independent country of 
        Ukraine;
Whereas Russian forces have targeted civilians and have committed war crimes and 
        crimes against humanity;
Whereas, on March 9, 2022, Russian forces bombed a maternity and children's 
        hospital, killing and injuring innocent civilians, including children;
Whereas hundreds of civilians have been killed, and thousands have been injured 
        as a result of Russian attacks;
Whereas the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that 
        2,500,000 people have been forced to flee Ukraine, an additional 
        1,850,000 people have been displaced internally, and an estimated 
        12,650,000 people have been affected in the areas hardest hit by the war 
        within Ukraine; and
Whereas Ohio is home to more than 40,000 Ukrainians: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) demands an immediate cease-fire and full withdrawal of 
        Russian forces from Ukrainian territory;
            (2) urges the Biden administration to hold Vladimir Putin 
        accountable for the unconscionable atrocities committed in 
        Ukraine;
            (3) supports the people of Ukraine in their fight against 
        the Russian invasion; and
            (4) recognizes the important cultural contributions of 
        Ukrainian Americans to the State of Ohio.
