The U.S. Senate has voted by a majority in favor of a resolution in support of Ukraine, which condemned Russia's military aggression. This was reported by the Associated Press.

The resolution was preceded by U.S. President Joe Biden's statement about the likelihood of a Russian attack on Ukraine in the coming days.

The senators' resolution is not legally binding, but it does formally state the United States' "unwavering support for a secure, democratic and independent Ukraine" and "condemns Russia's military buildup on the border with Ukraine.

"Congress is united in its support for Ukraine's independence and sovereignty," said Senator Rob Portman.

Earlier, Poland and Japan passed a resolution in support of Ukraine.
