The resolution backs US support for Ukraine and calls for a full Russian withdrawal
The US House of Representatives passed a resolution in support of Ukraine and called for an end to the Russian special military operation in Donbass.
The resolution backs US support for Ukraine and urges the Biden administration to deliver "additional security assistance" to Ukraine immediately.
It also pledges to support working with European and international allies to strengthen Europe's energy security in a bid to lessen its dependence on Russian gas imports.
Russia had for months been warning of the threat posed against it by NATO's attempts to expand eastward, which happened simultaneously with an increase in NATO military activity along Russia's borders, and batches of lethal equipment being sent to Ukraine, prompting Russia to request security guarantees from the West. Washington failed to provide the guarantees.
After the West did not respond to Russia's demands, and amid Ukrainian shelling on the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, President Vladimir Putin initiated a special military operation to protect Donbass.
To counter the Russian de-Nazification of Ukraine, the West imposed harsh sanctions on Russia, which affected many economic sectors, not only in Russia but the whole world.
