SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Vladimir Putin has demonstrated his intent to continue
his war of aggression against Ukraine, including through
violating ceasefires over the last decade, laying out
maximalist demands, employing stall tactics, and repeatedly
firing weapons into civilian areas;
(2) the Russian Federation poses a threat beyond Ukraine,
with Russian Government officials stating territorial ambitions
in Poland and in the Baltic States, and carrying out acts of
hybrid war, including sabotage and assassinations, across the
NATO Alliance and in partner nations;
(3) since 2014, the United States has stood firmly with
Ukraine in its defense of its territorial integrity,
sovereignty, and democratic character, and has reaffirmed this
commitment following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in
February 2022;
(4) continued support for Ukraine serves vital national
security interests of the United States by helping to uphold
international law, deter aggression, and promote stability in
Europe and around the world;
(5) since 2014, and particularly following Russia's full-
scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Ukraine has employed
adaptive, innovative, and asymmetric defense strategies to
resist aggression from the Russian Federation;
(6) the United States has a compelling national interest in
learning from partners' combat experience to inform its own
defense strategies, procurement processes, and military
doctrine;
(7) Ukraine's adaptive and resourceful defense strategies,
particularly its use of emerging technologies, unmanned
systems, cyber defense, and decentralized operations, have
yielded critical insights into modern warfare, and have
directly informed United States military research, development,
and doctrine;
(8) such innovations are directly relevant to deterring and
responding to potential aggression in the Indo-Pacific region;
(9) the lessons learned in Ukraine's defense against
Russia's aggression should be immediately and directly applied
to deterring aggression by foreign adversaries, including the
People's Republic of China, and where possible, bilateral and
multilateral initiatives to build upon these innovations should
be encouraged and sponsored;
(10) initiatives, such as Operation Spiderweb, have exposed
potential vulnerabilities within United States and allied
defense systems, and have offered valuable opportunities to
enhance readiness;
(11) lessons learned from Ukraine's experience may help the
United States identify vulnerabilities, improve resilience, and
enhance innovation in its own defense posture;
(12) the People's Republic of China is watching the extent
to which the United States continues to vigorously support and
provide military assistance to Ukraine in its defense against
Russian aggression and to evaluate the practical strength of
the United States commitment to deterring potential aggression
in the Indo-Pacific region;
(13) what the United States does or does not do to support
Ukraine could directly influence the People's Republic of
China's calculus with respect to its own territorial
aspirations;
(14) while there can only be a diplomatic resolution to
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, decreasing or
ceasing United States military and financial support to Ukraine
would only strengthen Vladimir Putin's bargaining power in such
negotiations by weakening Ukraine's position on the
battlefield;
(15) demonstrating the United States resolve in support of
Ukraine is the only way to force Vladimir Putin to negotiate
seriously to end the war on fair and equitable terms; and
(16) it is therefore in the vital national security
interest of the United States to continue strategic investments
in Ukraine's defenses in order to strengthen the defenses of
the United States and its allies to advance President Trump's
``Peace through Strength'' agenda.
