Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, you find this on the Governments website. On the surface, it appears that the House is pushing for a Ukrainian Park in DC. Look a little closer.

The calendar ends on 12/07/2022, but if one tries to get more information about the bill or updates from the Committee on Natural Resources, you land on this page: “Congress.Gov  Error 503”.

H.R.7025 – Advancing Human Rights-Centered International Conservation Act of 2022

The location of the supposed park:

Ukrainian Independence Park in DC. 

APRIL 28, 2022
7075 is a bill to designate the Ukrainian Independence Park in Washington, DC, and for other purposes. The Department supports this legislation. H.R. 7075 cites a location for the park in Washington, DC that is bound by the following streets: 22nd Street, NW, P Street, NW, and Florida Avenue, NW.

According to Breitbart News,

“The  recent  1.7 trillion Omnibus also designates a part of D.C. as the Ukrainian Independence Park and allows for signs around the park that “include information on the importance of the independence, freedom, and sovereignty of Ukraine and the solidarity between the people of Ukraine and the United States.” (Source)

 

“As Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, I stand in full support of designating the Ukrainian Independence Park in Washington, DC as a symbol of the friendship between the US and Ukraine and our mutual commitment to upholding freedom and democracy.

The Ukrainian Independence Park would serve as a national symbol of the solidarity between the freedom-loving people of Ukraine and the US and would also serve as a reminder of the bravery and courage displayed by the Ukrainian people in the face of tyranny and evil.”

 

So what is really under the hood of this bill?
