S.

Res. 100 formally dissents from the United States delegation’s February 24, 2025, United Nations General Assembly vote against a Ukrainian draft resolution.

The resolution condemns that U.S. vote, criticizes alignment with the Russian Federation and certain autocracies, urges the U.S. to identify Russia as the aggressor and call for full withdrawal, asks for closer coordination with Ukraine and European allies at the UN, and reaffirms support for Ukraine’s sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders.
