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 serves to formally condemn the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. It also aims to condemn officials of the Government of the Russian Federation. The condemnation is based on the commission of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Ukraine. It cites determinations made by the Department of State on February 18, 2023. Additionally, it references findings by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine from September 23, 2022.
