Support Ukraine's defense against Russia's illegal invasion

The unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces is a violation of international law and a threat to global security. Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected. Russia's actions are causing immense human suffering and widespread destruction. The United States had previously pledged security assurances to Ukraine in exchange for its denuclearization after the Cold War, a commitment that underscores the need to support Ukraine's self-defense now. The United States and allied nations should continue providing military, economic, and humanitarian aid to Ukraine to help it defend itself and its people against this unjustified aggression. Increased sanctions and diplomatic pressure on Russia are also necessary to deter further escalation and promote a path towards peace through Russia's full withdrawal from Ukrainian territory. Supporting Ukraine's resistance to this illegal war is not only a moral imperative but critical for upholding the rules-based international order.
