Latest Action · July 9, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution expresses opposition to security agreements and long-term military assistance commitments to Ukraine. It specifically challenges a bilateral security agreement signed between the United States and Ukraine in June 2024, arguing that such agreements bypass Congress and should require Senate ratification as formal treaties rather than executive agreements. The resolution raises concerns about accountability for the over $175 billion in aid already provided to Ukraine since 2022, citing monitoring failures and corruption risks, while also objecting to provisions that could commit the U.S. to military engagement and claiming the agreement prioritizes Ukraine's interests over American strategic needs. The resolution does not allocate new funding or establish timelines, but instead calls for any future security commitments to be submitted to the Senate for approval by a two-thirds majority, as required by the Constitution's treaty ratification process. It reflects disagreement among some House members about the scope and legal framework of U.S. involvement in Ukraine.
