A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the Russian Federation started the war against Ukraine by launching an unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

This Senate resolution states that the Russian Federation began the war in Ukraine with an unprovoked full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, following Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and occupation of parts of Donbas. It expresses the Senate’s formal position on the cause of the conflict but does not create new laws or impose obligations. The resolution directly addresses U.S. foreign policy stance toward Russia and Ukraine, reflecting a political consensus rather than a binding policy change.
