Text of the bill
(a) Sense of Congress. It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) according to the Ukrainian Government, as of February 2026, the Russian Federation has forcibly abducted, kidnapped, and deported more than 20,000 Ukrainian children;
(2) the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine concluded that the Russian Federation’s deportation and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity; and
(3) the Russian Federation poses an immediate and growing threat to Ukrainian children living under its control.
(b) Statement of policy. It is the policy of the United States that the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations shall veto resolutions proposed to the United Nations Security Council that absolve the Russian Federation of accountability for its illegal and unjust invasion of Ukraine and its unlawful transfer, deportation, indoctrination, and militarization of Ukrainian children.
