Topic: House Resolution 758

U.S. House Resolution 758, passed on December 4, 2014, formally condemns Russian aggression in Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova. The resolution characterizes the MH17 crash as a result of a missile fired by Russian-backed forces and calls for increased NATO capabilities. It also suggests that NATO countries should purchase the Mistral warships originally intended for Russia to resolve France's financial concerns.

House Resolution 758 calls for expanded U.S. international broadcasting to counter Russian propaganda in Ukraine and Moldova. The resolution mandates that Voice of America and Radio Free Europe provide 24/7 content to target populations in Russian and Ukrainian languages. Critics argue this move explicitly codifies the use of U.S. state-sponsored media for counter-propaganda purposes.
