The U.S. Senate unanimously adopted a resolution on the 5th anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity and the memory of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes, as reported by the Embassy of Ukraine in the United States.

With the Resolution, the United States, among other things, condemns the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the construction of Nord Stream 2, which legislators call a "major threat to European security, seeks to further undermine Ukraine’s economic stability, and threatens to increase the country’s vulnerability to further Russian military incursions," the Embassy wrote on Facebook.

The U.S. Senate "calls upon the United States Government, as well as its international allies and partners, to maintain a strong sanctions regime against the Russian Federation until it upholds its international obligations towards Ukraine, including the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances and the Minsk Agreements," the Resolution says.
