                               RESOLUTION


 
Dissenting from the United States delegation's February 24, 2025, vote 
                at the United Nations General Assembly.

Whereas United States cooperation with our allies advances the national security 
        interest of the United States;
Whereas on February 24, 2025, the United States delegation to the United Nations 
        voted against the Government of Ukraine's United Nations draft 
        resolution A/ES-11/L.10 entitled ``Advancing a comprehensive, just and 
        lasting peace in Ukraine'';
Whereas the aforementioned vote was cast against Ukraine and the United States' 
        democratic allies, and aligned the United States with the Russian 
        Federation, Belarus, the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea, 
        and other autocracies;
Whereas this was the first instance since 2014 in which the United States voted 
        with Russia at the United Nations on a Ukraine-related resolution, 
        representing a departure from a decade of bipartisan, United States 
        policy on Ukraine and eight decades of alignment with like-minded 
        democratic states at the United Nations; and
Whereas, in the United Nations Security Council, the United States led a 
        resolution that failed to call out Russia as the invading aggressor and 
        lacked the support of all five European members of the Security Council: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) condemns the February 24, 2025, United States vote 
        against Ukraine's resolution at the United Nations General 
        Assembly;
            (2) decries the refusal of the United States delegation to 
        continue to identify the Russian Federation as an aggressor or 
        to call for the Government of the Russian Federation to 
        completely withdraw its military forces from the territory of 
        Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders;
            (3) recalls that the principal purposes of the United 
        Nations Charter are to ``maintain peace and security'' and 
        suppress ``acts of aggression or other breaches of peace'';
            (4) urges the United States to work closely with Ukraine 
        and European allies on future efforts at the United Nations 
        related to Ukraine; and
            (5) reaffirms its support for the sovereignty and 
        territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally 
        recognized borders.
