                REAFFIRM BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, as co-chair of the Bipartisan 
Congressional Ukraine Caucus, I rise to introduce a resolution 
reaffirming the House's bipartisan support for Ukraine, our ally.
  This time-sensitive measure proclaims the United States' vital 
strategic interest in preserving liberty and democracy in Ukraine and 
across Europe.
  In 2014, Vladimir Putin's Russia invaded Ukraine without provocation. 
Over 5 years later, Ukraine remains engaged in a heroic struggle to 
defend its freedom and sovereignty.
  Today, Ukraine represents the scrimmage line for liberty on the 
European Continent and globally.
  This resolution makes clear that we in Congress recognize the 
sacrifice that Ukrainians make each day to defend liberty in Europe. As 
our ally, we support her continued defense, growth, and success.
  Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to join this timely 
resolution.
