A resolution dissenting from the United States delegation's February 24, 2025, vote at the United Nations General Assembly.
S. Res. 100 is a Senate resolution that dissents from the United States delegation’s February 24, 2025 vote at the United Nations General Assembly on Ukraine-related matters. It portrays the vote as a departure from longstanding U.S. policy in support of Ukraine and its democratic allies, and it criticizes the administration’s position for not labeling Russia as an aggressor or calling for Russia to withdraw from Ukrainian territory. The resolution emphasizes the purposes of the United Nations Charter (maintaining peace and security, countering aggression) and urges continued U.S. collaboration with Ukraine and European allies on future UN actions related to Ukraine. It also reaffirms support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. Overall, the bill is a symbolic, non-binding expression of Senate dissent intended to signal a tougher or more unified pro-Ukraine stance in multilateral diplomacy.
