This resolution expresses the Senate's strong dissent from the United States delegation's vote on February 24, 2025, at the United Nations General Assembly. The U.S. delegation voted against Ukraine's draft resolution, "Advancing a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine," which the Senate notes aligned the U.S. with the Russian Federation and other autocracies, marking a significant departure from a decade of bipartisan U.S. policy on Ukraine. The Senate condemns this vote and decries the U.S. delegation's refusal to continue identifying the Russian Federation as an aggressor or to call for the complete withdrawal of its military forces from Ukraine. It recalls the UN Charter's principal purposes to maintain peace and security and suppress acts of aggression. Furthermore, the resolution urges the United States to work closely with Ukraine and European allies on future efforts at the United Nations related to Ukraine. It also reaffirms the Senate's unwavering support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders.
