It is the sense of the Senate that Ukraine would derive military benefit from the provision of munitions such as the dual-purpose improved conventional munition (DPICM). Such weapons could be fired from systems in the existing Ukrainian inventory and would enhance Ukraine’s stockpile of available munitions and would bolster Ukraine’s efforts to end Russia’s illegal and unjust war. The Department of Defense, in concert with the other members of the Ukraine Defense Contract Group, should continue to support Ukraine’s brave fight to defeat the invasion of the Russian Federation.
The Department of Defense, in close coordination with the State Department, should assess the feasibility and advisability of providing such munitions, including giving appropriate attention to humanitarian considerations, including supporting Ukraine’s effort to end the widespread suffering of the Ukrainian people by bringing Russia’s war of choice to an end as soon as possible on terms favorable to Ukraine, as well as the views of other members of the Ukraine Defense Contract Group.
