Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S4346)
This Senate resolution expresses strong support for the United States alliance with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, the three Baltic States, particularly in response to ongoing threats from Russia, Belarus, and China. The resolution highlights the Baltic States' century-long partnership with the United States, their commitment to NATO and democratic values, and their significant military and humanitarian support for Ukraine since Russia's 2022 invasion. The resolution specifically endorses the Baltic Security Initiative, a funding program established in fiscal year 2021 that strengthens security cooperation and helps the Baltic States enhance their defense capabilities and NATO integration. The resolution affirms the Senate's commitment to the security of these three NATO allies and supports continued security assistance to help them counter Russian intimidation, cyberattacks, and military provocations, as well as other regional threats. This is a symbolic resolution that does not authorize new spending but reaffirms congressional support for existing defense partnerships and initiatives in the region.
