Joint resolution condemning the Russian Federation’s military and political actions in Ukraine and especially their impact on Ukrainian children

Vermont's JRS 42 is a symbolic resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine and specifically its actions targeting Ukrainian children. It condemns Russia's military aggression, the abduction and forcible transfer of Ukrainian children, and the use of camps for cultural reeducation and involuntary adoption or military placement. The resolution urges Russia to immediately cease attacks, withdraw forces, and return all forcibly removed children, directing the Secretary of State to send a copy to Russian and Ukrainian U.S. ambassadors. This resolution has no binding legal effect but expresses Vermont's official stance on these issues.
