Anger against Russia continues to grow in America. A resolution has been passed in the US Parliament regarding this. The Senate unanimously passed a resolution calling for an investigation into Russian President Vladimir Putin and his administration for the attack on Ukraine. Senator Lindsey Graham’s resolution said the Senate strongly condemns “violence against humanity, war crimes” committed by Russian military forces at Putin’s instructions. The resolution calls for international criminal courts to investigate Putin, his Security Council and military leaders for possible war crimes.
“These atrocities should be investigated as war crimes,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The motion was passed unopposed in the Senate on Tuesday.
The Senate resolution, first introduced nearly two weeks ago, does not have law strength, but it is a symbol of congressional solidarity, which gives political support to the Biden administration to take a tough line against Putin’s aggression. Last week, US Vice President Kamala Harris called for an international war crimes investigation against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. The Senate-approved resolution has been accepted by senators from both the Republican and Democrat parties.
It said that the Senate condemns the aggression and other atrocities of Putin, the Russian Federation, the Russian Security Council, members of the Russian military and others rising to the level of war crimes. The resolution calls on the US and others to investigate Putin and his regime at the International Criminal Court for possible war crimes.
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a speech before the Senate vote, “We in this chamber, together with all Democrats and Republicans, say that Vladimir Putin cannot escape accountability for the atrocities committed against the Ukrainian people.” Can.”
