The Senate Resolution condemns the illegal removal of children from Ukraine by Russia, highlighting the violation of international law and human rights associated with these actions. It references the Budapest Memorandum, which was signed in 1994 by the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom, pledging to respect Ukraine's sovereignty. The resolution outlines the ongoing conflict that began with Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and escalated with the full-scale invasion in February 2022. Reports indicate that over 19,500 Ukrainian children have been deported, with many sent to re-education camps where they face indoctrination, physical abuse, and inadequate care.

The resolution calls for the swift return of all illegally deported children to Ukraine and expresses the abhorrence of such actions to the people of New Jersey. It also notes that the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Russian officials involved in these deportations. The resolution will be transmitted to various U.S. government officials and Ukrainian representatives to emphasize the state's stance on this humanitarian crisis.
