Responding to the threat posed by the Russian Federation's deployment of tactical nuclear weapons, and for other purposes.

This non-binding House resolution (HRES 562) expresses congressional concern over Russia's deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. It declares this deployment a threat to Ukraine and NATO allies, stating that any use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia, Belarus, or proxies - resulting in radioactive fallout on NATO territory - would trigger Article V of the NATO treaty, requiring a collective military response. The resolution urges the administration to coordinate with NATO partners on diplomatic and military measures to address the threat. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new law but formally states Congress's position on the issue.
