1000 days of Russia's war on Ukraine

On November 19, one thousand days will have passed since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s war, rooted in its centuries-long history of violent imperialism, has brought terror and tragedy to Ukrainian soil. Ukrainians have fought courageously for their survival and the freedom and independence of their country while Russian forces have engaged in torture, targeted civilians, and devastated Ukrainian critical infrastructure.

One thousand days in, Ukrainians continue to suffer while the United States and partner countries provide a slow drip of aid to Ukraine, preventing Ukraine from making any meaningful progress in decisively defeating the invaders. Restrictions on striking military targets in Russia, Russia’s blatant disregard for international law, and the emerging axis of aggressors supporting Moscow have strengthened Russia’s position. As the deadliest ground war in Europe since World War II continues, it is imperative that the United States and its allies commit to defeating Russia and take decisive action towards this goal.

This hearing will mark the somber anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with a situation report of the war thus far, examine the strategic ramifications of failing to stop Russia’s aggression, and lay out the necessary steps the United States and partners must take to make Ukrainian victory a reality.
