 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.
