SCR 189 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND CONGRESS TO SUPPLY UKRAINE WITH THE WEAPONS NEEDED TO FULLY DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST RUSSIAN ATTACKS AND RETAKE ITS TERRITORY AS RECOGNIZED BY INTERNATIONAL LAW.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution from Hawaii urges the President and Congress to provide Ukraine with additional weapons to defend against Russian attacks and reclaim territory recognized under international law. The bill is a non-binding request that does not allocate funding or create legal obligations, as it is a symbolic expression of support rather than a legislative mandate. It calls on President Trump to negotiate Russian troop withdrawal and affirms solidarity with Ukraine's independence. The resolution cites the humanitarian and strategic impacts of the ongoing conflict to justify the request for enhanced military aid.
