On Tuesday, members of the US Senate unanimously voted on a resolution before them issuing a formal condemnation of Vladimir Putin as a war criminal.
Unanimously supported actions by the US Senate are quite rare, and usually only occur on non-controversial issues, such as a recent motion to make daylight savings time permanent.
According to Reuters, the resolution passed specifically asked for and "encouraged the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague and other nations to target the Russian military in any investigation of war crimes committed during Russia's invasion of Ukraine."
The resolution was introduced by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who controversially has also called for the assassination of Putin, a move widely panned by people on all points of the political spectrum.
Putin himself has called his actions in Ukraine a "special military operation," avoiding the use of the word "invasion."
The Russian incursion of troops in Ukraine, as a point of fact, however, does represent the largest military operation of this nature in Europe since the year 1945.
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) issued his own statement after the resolution was passed, saying, "All of us in this chamber joined together, with Democrats and Republicans, to say that Vladimir Putin cannot escape accountability for the atrocities committed against the Ukrainian people."
