SRES 268 United States Senate · 118th Congress

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

This non-binding Senate resolution condemns Russia's deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus as a threat to Ukraine and NATO allies. It states that any use of such weapons by Russia, Belarus, or proxies - which could cause nuclear fallout in NATO territory - would trigger NATO's collective defense clause (Article 5), requiring immediate military action. The resolution urges the administration to consult with NATO leaders and develop a coordinated diplomatic and military response to this security threat.
