SCR 23 Oregon Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Creating a ceremonial relationship between the State of Oregon and Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine.

Oregon's SCR 23 establishes a symbolic partnership between the State of Oregon and Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine, through a concurrent resolution. It formally expresses Oregon's solidarity with Ukraine following Russia's invasion, citing shared values like democracy and humanitarian support. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but commemorates Oregon's existing ties, including aiding Ukrainian refugees (over 4,500 arrived since 2022) and honoring Ukrainian-American contributions. It concludes by condemning Russia's invasion and pledging unwavering support for Ukraine. This is a ceremonial gesture, not a policy with concrete legal or financial changes.
