upending daily life1 and causing        
nationwide blackouts2 ,whereas the

,whereas1 although the ,united ,states  
providing ,ukraine with ,,himars1 the   
,patriot system1 ,f-#afs1 and long-range

force2 and ,whereas1 in ,november #bjbd1
 the ,united ,states lifted restrictions

unprovoked second invasion against      
,ukraine in ,february #bjbb1 and its    
subsequent gross violations of human    
rights1 as unacceptable and warranting  

support from the ,united ,states for    
,ukraine's ability to defend itself by  
targeting military assets inside of the 
,russian ,federation that are enabling  
,president ,putin's war crimes2 and     
7#b7 affirms it is the policy of the    
,united ,states to allow ,ukraine to use
 long-range missiles supplied by the    
,united ,states to strike against       
military assets inside of the ,russian  
,federation4
