Plain-English Summary

This resolution calls on the U.S. government to make the return of Ukrainian children allegedly taken by Russia a requirement before any peace deal is finalized to end the war in Ukraine. The measure aims to ensure that any agreement to stop the fighting includes provisions for locating and returning children who have been separated from their families during the conflict. It reflects concern among lawmakers about the welfare of Ukrainian civilians, particularly minors, affected by the ongoing war.
