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 is intended to condemn various Russian actions against NATO member countries and Ukraine. It addresses specific instances where Russian drones and fighter jets entered the airspace of nations like Poland, Romania, and Estonia. The text also highlights Russian military aircraft being intercepted near Alaska. Through this resolution, the Senate seeks to condemn Russia's ongoing assault on Ukraine and the kidnapping of children. Finally, it serves to reaffirm the commitment to collective self-defense under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.
