01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution is a statement by the Senate condemning the United States' rejection of a United Nations General Assembly resolution that condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It expresses the Senate's view but does not create law, change government policy, or direct executive action. It is adopted by the Senate alone and does not require action by the House or the President.

This Senate resolution condemns the United States’ rejection of United Nations General Assembly Resolution A/ES-11/L.10 (2025), a measure titled “Advancing a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine,” and reiterates that Russia’s 2014 and 2022 invasions of Ukraine were illegal.

It is a symbolic, non-binding statement referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Passage45/100

Narrow, nonbinding nature improves prospects, but potential partisan disagreement over U.S. rejection of the UN resolution lowers likelihood; outcome hinges on bipartisan backing.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a straightforward symbolic resolution: it clearly states the Senate's condemnation of a specific U.S. action regarding a United Nations General Assembly resolution and does so with the simple, declaratory language appropriate to that form.
