BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING):

WHEREAS, In November 2013, when President Viktor Yanukovych	3
refused to sign a trade pact with the European Union, Ukrainians	4
began to peacefully assemble and protest; and	5

WHEREAS, Since November, hundreds of thousands of Ukranians	6
have taken to the streets of Kiev to demand that the European	7
Union deal be signed; and	8

WHEREAS, The protests suggest that a courageous Ukrainian	9
people aspire for a democratic, sovereign, and European-allied	10
Ukraine; and	11

WHEREAS, In response to the protests, the Ukrainian	12
Parliament has passed laws that limit freedom of assembly, and	13
restrict the media; and	14

WHEREAS, In response to the protests, Ukrainian authorities,	15
before the eyes of the world, have resorted to unnecessary and	16
cruel brutality and violence; now therefore be it	17

RESOLVED, That the Congress of the United States is urged to	18
consider and implement appropriate sanctions against Ukraine; and	19
be it further	20

RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly	21
authenticated copies of this resolution to the Speaker and Clerk	22
of the United States House of Representatives, the President Pro	23
Tempore and Secretary of the United States Senate, the members of	24
the Ohio Congressional delegation, and the news media of Ohio.	25
