"The document expresses support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and strongly condemns attempts by the authorities of the Russian Federation and its agents to meddle in the elections in Ukraine, in particular by carrying out harmful cyber operations, and trying to influence public opinion through the Kremlin-controlled media and social networks," the embassy said.

In addition, congressmen urge the U.S. government to provide assistance to the Ukrainian government in efforts to protect the country's electoral system from cyber and other threats.
