 ,united ,nations ,security ,council4   
,whereas the ,united ,nations ,security 
,council is tasked with upholding       
international peace and security among

 and to recommend what necessary action 
should be taken2 ,whereas ,article #ci

of ,america1 the ,united ,kingdom1      
,france1 the ,people's ,republic of     
,china1 and the ,russian ,federation2   
,whereas the acts of aggression and     
malign influence by the ,russian        
,federation and its proxies in ,ukraine 
are a threat to the territorial         
integrity and democratic sovereignty of 
,ukraine and run counter to both the    

letter and spirit of the ,security      
,council's responsibility to maintain   
peace and security2 ,whereas the        
build-up of nearly #bjj1jjj ,russian    
,federation military troops1 artillery1 
tanks1 armor1 and other military        
equipment on ,ukraine's border since    
,march #bjba has significantly          
threatened the safety1 security1        
stability1 and sovereignty of ,ukraine  
and has destabilized the security of the
 continent of ,europe2 ,whereas1 on     
,february #ba1 #bjbb1 the ,russian      
,federation deployed additional military
 forces into two ,russian-declared      
separatist regions of eastern ,ukraine1 
which are under ,ukrainian government   
control2 ,whereas1 on ,february #bb1

independence of the two ,russian-backed 
separatist republics in eastern         
,ukraine1 the ,donetsk and ,luhansk     
,people's ,republics1 and secured       
parliamentary authorization to deploy   

additional ,russian forces abroad1      
setting conditions for a further        
offensive against ,ukraine2 ,whereas1 on
 ,february #bd1 #bjbb1 ,russian         
,federation ,president ,vladimir ,putin 
launched a well-coordinated             
disinformation campaign1 announcing the 
start of a special military operation   
aimed at the demilitarization and       
denazification of ,ukraine in order to  
protect the people who have been abused 
by the genocide of the ,kyiv regime for 
#h years2 ,whereas1 on ,february #bd1   
#bjbb1 the ,russian ,federation launched
 multiple unprovoked missile strikes in 
,kyiv1 ,ukraine1 as well as in numerous 
key eastern ,ukrainian cities1 including
 ,kharkiv1 ,odessa1 ,mariupol1 ,dnipro1 
and ,kramatorsk1 jeopardizing the safety
 of civilians and with the intent to    
strike ,ukrainian military              
infrastructure1 including airfields1    
military depots1 air defenses1 and      
command and control sites2 and ,whereas 
the increased aggression of the ,russian

 ,federation against the sovereignty of 
,ukraine has destabilized the security  
of the continent of ,europe and could   
cause massive casualties1 energy        
shortages1 and financial instability    
across the globe3 ,now1 therefore1 be it
 ,that ,congress-- 7#a7 condemns the    
,russian ,federation's invasion of      
,ukraine's sovereign territory and its  
ongoing support of proxy militias in the
 region1 which together pose a direct   
threat to international peace and       
security and run contrary to its        
responsibilities and obligations as a   
permanent member of the ,united ,nations
 ,security ,council2  7#b7 urges the    
,president to direct the ,united ,states
 representative to the ,united ,nations 
to use the voice1 vote1 and influence of
 the ,united ,states to take all        
necessary steps to remove the ,russian  
,federation as a ,permanent ,member of  
the ,united ,nations ,security ,council2
 and  7#c7 urges other member states to 
support such efforts to hold the        

,russian ,federation accountable at the 
,united ,nations by supporting such     
efforts4
