House Resolution 256

Date: July 11, 2018

This bill reaffirms the United States' commitment to supporting countries that were once part of the Soviet Union and the communist bloc in their efforts towards independence, democracy, and integration into European and Euro-Atlantic institutions like NATO.

It condemns Russia's actions that violate international agreements and pledges to maintain sanctions until certain conditions are met. The bill also calls for increased support for Central and Eastern European countries, encourages defense spending in line with NATO guidelines, and recognizes the contributions of countries in the region to peacekeeping efforts.

The bill emphasizes the importance of democratic aspirations, electoral security, and continued investment in defense. It also honors the sacrifices made by those who have served under NATO and calls for ongoing support to the European Deterrence Initiative.
