SJR 80 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Condemns Russia's removal of children from Ukraine.

SJR 80 is a New Jersey legislative resolution condemning Russia's illegal deportation of over 19,500 Ukrainian children, with only about 1,900 returned, and demanding their immediate return to Ukraine. It describes how deported children face Russian propaganda, forced military training, abuse, and separation from families in camps across Russia, Belarus, and occupied territories. The resolution requires New Jersey to send copies to U.S. congressional leaders, Ukrainian ambassadors, and the UN to express support for the children's return. As a symbolic statement, it does not create new laws but formally opposes Russia's actions against Ukrainian children.
