31	31	Whereas the Russian Federation has orchestrated a brutal
32	32	war of attrition, seeking to undermine Ukrainian morale
33	33	by using sexual assault and rape as a weapon of war,
34	34	forced deportation of Ukranian children, targeting energy
35	35	infrastructure in harsh winter conditions, using chemical
36	36	weapons against Ukrainians, shelling residential areas,
37	37	including schools and hospitals, and using vile war tactics
38	38	to maim the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians;
39	39	Whereas, despite the Russian Federation’s efforts to destroy
40	40	Ukraine, the Ukrainian people are rebuilding infrastruc-
41	41	ture that was leveled by Russian missiles, adapting swift-
42	42	ly and tactfully to stay ahead of changing battlefield dy-
43	43	namics, have successfully targeted Russian military as-
44	44	sets that provided weapons used against Ukraine, have
45	45	held territory inside of Russia, and continue to fight he-
46	46	roically for their country’s sovereignty and right to exist
47	47	as an independent nation;
48	48	Whereas the Ukrainian military has recaptured thousands of
49	49	miles of territory since the war began;
50	50	Whereas the Kursk offensive was a remarkable demonstration
51	51	of combined arms maneuver, effective use of the informa-
52	52	tion and intelligence space in a nearly transparent battle-
53	53	field, and successful electronic warfare to degrade Rus-
54	54	sian forces’ intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance
55	55	capabilities;
56	56	Whereas, despite the mobilization of North Korean soldiers
57	57	inside Kursk and the use of Iranian-supplied weapons,
58	58	Ukrainian soldiers continue to defend their territory and
59	59	have applied lessons learned in counter-drone operations,
60	60	electronic warfare, mobility support, and tank-infantry
61	61	integration;

66	66	thousands of armored combat vehicles, 5 ships, and 458
67	67	smaller craft;
68	68	Whereas Ukraine’s soldiers, volunteers, and wartime indus-
69	69	trial base have offered the United States valuable in-
70	70	sights on producing strategic outputs quickly and effec-
71	71	tively to respond to changing battlefield dynamics;
72	72	Whereas the people of Ukraine have continued to work to-
73	73	ward reforms to strengthen their democratic governance
74	74	and improve their economy; and
75	75	Whereas the people of Ukraine will continue to fight against
76	76	the Russian Federation’s war against their country, in-
77	77	cluding by pursuing their goals and ambitions while hon-
