WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly Thursday to show unwavering support for an independent Ukraine and "condemn" Russian military aggression toward its neighbor as fresh fears emerged of a possible invasion that could spiral toward a European war.The U.S.
The resolution from the senators does not carry the force of law but puts the U.S. legislative body on record with "unwavering United States support for a secure, democratic, and independent Ukraine" and "denounces the Russian military buildup" on Ukraine's border. The vote was unanimous, without objection or the formal roll call.
Ukraine has strong allies in the Senate, where there is broad support for sanctions on Russia as a powerful foreign policy tool to be used if Putin furthers his aggression toward Ukraine. The final text said the resolution was not to be construed as an authorization for the use of military force against Russia or for the introduction of U.S. armed forces in Ukraine.
