A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses dissent regarding a February 24, 2025, vote by the United States delegation at the United Nations General Assembly. The vote was against a United Nations draft resolution titled "Advancing a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine." The resolution states that this vote aligned the United States with the Russian Federation, Belarus, and North Korea. It notes that this vote marks a departure from a decade of bipartisan policy and previous alignment with democratic states. Consequently, the Senate resolves to condemn the vote and decry the refusal to identify Russia as an aggressor. Finally, it urges the United States to work closer with Ukraine and European allies on future efforts.
