A resolution recognizing the partnership between the United States and Ukraine.
This Senate resolution (S. Res. 112), introduced by Senator Blumenthal on March 5, 2025, publicly recognizes the partnership between the United States and Ukraine. It affirms U.S. support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity amid Russia’s invasion, and it lauds (or at least records) the Ukrainian parliament’s gratitude to President Trump, Congress, and the American people for security assistance and steadfast support. The resolution also references Ukraine’s interest in peace negotiations and highlights the importance of continued U.S.-Ukraine cooperation, including prospects in the area of critical minerals. Importantly, as a resolution, it expresses policy preferences and diplomatic statements rather than creating new law or authorizing funds.
