A bipartisan group of U.S. senators plans to introduce a resolution supporting Ukraine as it fights Russian aggression. The move comes ahead of President Trump’s nationally televised State of the Union address.

The resolution signals congressional backing for Kyiv amid the ongoing conflict and calls for continued support from the United States. Senators from both parties emphasize the importance of unity in backing Ukraine’s defense and international efforts.
