|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, In November 2013, when President Viktor Yanukovych
refused to sign a trade pact with the European Union, Ukrainians
began to peacefully assemble and protest; and |
| WHEREAS, Since November, hundreds of thousands of Ukranians
have taken to the streets of Kiev to demand that the European
Union deal be signed; and |
| WHEREAS, The protests suggest that a courageous Ukrainian
people aspire for a democratic, sovereign, and European-allied
Ukraine; and |
| WHEREAS, In response to the protests, the Ukrainian
Parliament has passed laws that limit freedom of assembly, and
restrict the media; and |
| WHEREAS, In response to the protests, Ukrainian authorities,
before the eyes of the world, have resorted to unnecessary and
cruel brutality and violence; now therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That the Congress of the United States is urged to
consider and implement appropriate sanctions against Ukraine; and
be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly
authenticated copies of this resolution to the Speaker and Clerk
of the United States House of Representatives, the President Pro
Tempore and Secretary of the United States Senate, the members of
the Ohio Congressional delegation, and the news media of Ohio. |
