U.S. House of Representative overwhelmingly passed H.RES.348 ‘Supporting the right of the people of Ukraine to freely elect their government and determine their future’ (http://1.usa.gov/1GRI79O), earlier introduced by Member of Congress for Rhode Island's First Congressional District David Cicilline.
The bipartisan resolution, cosponsored by 44 members of U.S. Congress, strongly supports the right of the people of Ukraine to freely elect their government and determine their future, and urges the Administration to expedite assistance to Ukraine to facilitate the political, economic, and social reforms necessary for free and fair elections that meet international standards.
The resolution also condemns attempts on the part of outside forces, specifically the government of Russia, its agents or supporters, to interfere in Ukraine’s elections, including through intimidation, violence, or coercion.
We are grateful to the U.S. Congress for yet another important display of unwavering support for the sovereign and democratic path chosen by the people of Ukraine.
