SR 129 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

URGING THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE FUNDING AND SUPPORT TO THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY IN ITS DEFENSE OF AGGRESSION FROM RUSSIA.

This is a symbolic Senate resolution (SR 129), not a bill with policy changes. It urges the U.S. Congress to continue providing funding and support to Ukraine's military as it defends against Russian aggression. The resolution cites ongoing humanitarian needs in Ukraine, including civilian casualties and displacement, but does not create new funding or alter existing policy. It has no direct effect on Ukraine or U.S. military aid programs - it is solely a request directed at Congress.
