Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of order. If you seek it, I believe you will find unanimous consent for the following motion. I move: That, given that: (a) there is clear and ample evidence of systematic and massive war crimes and crimes against humanity being committed against the people of Ukraine by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, directed by President Vladimir Putin and others within the Russian Parliament; and (b) the crimes committed by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation include: (i) mass atrocities in the invaded and occupied Ukrainian territories, (ii) systematic instances of willful killing of Ukrainian civilians and the desecration of corpses, (iii) forcible transfer of Ukrainian children to the Russian territory, (iv) torture and the imposition of life conditions causing grave suffering, (v) widespread instances of physical harm, mental harm and rape, the House recognize that the Russian Federation is committing acts of genocide against the Ukrainian people.
