Establishing that it shall be the policy of the Government of the United States to recognize the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Ukraine within that nation's internationally recognized borders as established in 1991.

This joint resolution establishes a definitive United States policy regarding Ukraine's territorial integrity. It mandates that the U.S. Government will not recognize , nor take any action implying recognition of, claims made by the Russian Federation over occupied Ukrainian territories. Specifically, this includes regions such as Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson . The resolution reaffirms the U.S.'s unwavering commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and independence within its internationally recognized 1991 borders, citing Russia's illegal occupation and annexation since 2014 as a violation of international law. It underscores the principle that illegal acts do not create legal rights, rejecting any territorial claims made through aggression.
