     SENATE RESOLUTION 100--DISSENTING FROM THE UNITED STATES DELEGATION'S
         FEBRUARY 24, 2025, VOTE AT THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY

      Mrs. SHAHEEN submitted the following resolution; which was referred
    to the Committee on Foreign Relations:

                                  S. Res. 100

           Whereas United States cooperation with our allies advances
         the national security interest of the United States;

    [[Page S1402]]

           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.
