SR 179 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 Resolution from Hawaii requests that the U.S. President and Congress provide Ukraine with additional weapons to defend against Russian attacks and reclaim territories recognized under international law. The bill does not have the power to authorize funding or change federal policy, as it is a non-binding resolution that serves only to express the state's position. It highlights the ongoing conflict's humanitarian impact and calls for continued U.S. support to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and security. The resolution also urges President Trump to negotiate the withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukrainian territory.
