S.Res. 236: Resolution Calling for Return of Abducted Ukrainian Children Before 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, the Senate companion to H.Res. 564 with the same text, would put the Senate 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.
Why it matters
The Senate companion to H.Res. 564, with the same text and 36 cosponsors. It would put the Senate on record urging that every abducted Ukrainian child be returned before any peace agreement with russia is finalized. If both resolutions pass, the House and Senate will have taken the same position.
