Expression of support for people of Ukraine and call for US Congress to approve funding for continued provisions of defense systems
The resolution, addressing Russia's invasion of Ukraine since 2018, the displacement of millions, and the largest European ground invasion since WWII, is affirmed by the Mayor and City Council of Chicago. It applauds Ukraine's resilience, urges continued congressional funding for financial and weapon support to send a strong message to Russia, and seeks backing from the U.S., including President Biden, and Chicago's 35,000 Ukrainian residents.
