H.Res. 564: Calling for Return of Abducted Ukrainian Children Before Any Peace Agreement
By April 2025, Ukrainian authorities had at least 19,546 confirmed reports of children deported or forcibly transferred by russia, and only 1,274 had been returned. A peace deal could be signed before these children come home. This resolution would put the House on record condemning the abductions and urging that every abducted Ukrainian child be returned before any peace agreement is finalized. It cites the Fourth Geneva Convention, under which unlawful deportation is a grave breach. A House resolution is a statement of position, not a law.
Why it matters
With 47 cosponsors, this resolution would put the House on record urging that every abducted Ukrainian child be returned before any peace agreement with russia is finalized. A resolution does not bind U.S. negotiators, but it shows them clearly where the House stands.
