The United States and countries around the world have condemned Russia's unprecedented military aggression as unprovoked and unjustified. The United States, the European Union (EU), and member countries of the EU and NATO have provided or pledged new military assistance to Ukraine ($1.35 billion in immediate U.S. security assistance since the start of the war). Members of legislatures, local governments, businesses, and publics in the United States and elsewhere have expressed support for Ukraine and have condemned Russia's invasion. Many U.S. and other companies have suspended or withdrawn operations in Russia. On March 2, 2022, the U.N. General Assembly voted 141-5 to demand Russia immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw from Ukraine (34 countries, including China and India, abstained). Since December 2021, the United States and others have warned Russia's leadership that severe sanctions would follow a new attack on Ukraine, which Russia first invaded and partially occupied in 2014. The United States, the EU, and others imposed an initial round of sanctions on February 21-23, 2022, in response to Russia's alleged recognition of two areas in eastern Ukraine as independent. Since Russia launched its attack on February 24, the United States, the EU, and others have imposed a series of increasingly severe sanctions. Congress has provided substantial support for Ukraine since the start of the war. The Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103, Division N) provided $13.6 billion in humanitarian, security, and economic assistance for Ukraine and neighboring countries. The House and Senate have agreed to resolutions supporting Ukraine (H.Res. 956) and condemning Russian atrocities (S.Res. 546). Dozens of other bills and resolutions intended to respond to Russia and support Ukraine are before Congress, including the House-passed H.R. 7108, which would suspend permanent normal trading relations treatment for Russia and Belarus. On March 16, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Congress virtually.
