Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S4186)
This Senate resolution expresses opposition to the United States entering into security agreements or providing long-term military assistance to Ukraine. The resolution specifically challenges the Biden administration's June 2024 Bilateral Security Agreement with Ukraine, arguing that it circumvents the Senate's constitutional authority over treaties and security commitments. The sponsors contend that the agreement could commit the U.S. to military action without congressional authorization, raises concerns about oversight of the $175 billion in Ukraine aid already provided since February 2022, and prioritizes Ukrainian border security over U.S. southern border security. The resolution calls for the agreement to be submitted to the Senate for ratification as a formal treaty requiring a two-thirds vote, and declares that the Senate does not recognize the agreement as a pathway to Ukraine joining NATO. This is a nonbinding resolution expressing the Senate's position rather than legislation that would change existing law or spending.
