As Russia continues its aggression in Ukraine, it is our responsibility to advocate for a peaceful solution to this crisis that will quickly stop the senseless loss of life in Ukraine and prevent this conflict from escalating beyond control.

Ratcheting up military aid to Ukraine, whether through deploying American troops, supplying American weaponry, or American intelligence cooperation, is not a solution to this conflict. It is the direct opposite. This war cannot be ended through more war.

President Biden has asked Congress for $10 billion in supplemental funding for Ukraine, including $5.4 billion for military purposes. This military aid is to be used to deploy US troops to Eastern Europe, replace weapons already provided to Ukraine, and as direct aid to the militaries of Ukraine and other Eastern European countries. $91 million is to be used to enforce sanctions on Russia.
