The Joint Resolution J.R.S. 42, offered by Senator Vyhovsky, condemns the Russian Federation's military and political actions in Ukraine, particularly their devastating impact on Ukrainian children. It highlights the ongoing invasion that began on February 24, 2022, following previous illegal actions such as the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of the Donbas region. The resolution details the severe consequences of the invasion, including attacks on civilian infrastructure, loss of life, and the forcible transfer and abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children, which may constitute war crimes. Specific incidents, such as the attack on a maternity hospital in Mariupol, are cited to illustrate the humanitarian crisis.

The resolution calls for the immediate cessation of Russian bombardment, the withdrawal of military forces from Ukrainian territory, and the return of all forcibly removed children to Ukraine. It also expresses deep concern over the establishment of camps aimed at the cultural reeducation of Ukrainian children and the involuntary adoption and military induction of these children. The General Assembly urges the Russian government to halt these actions and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to the Russian Federation and Ukrainian ambassadors in the United States.
