U.S. Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rand Paul (R-KY) blasted the Biden administration on Thursday for the president's recent decision to sign security guarantees for Ukraine — without review or consent from Congress — with a resolution making their case about the problems and risks that follow Biden's unilateral action.
Expressing that the "United States should not enter into any bilateral or multilateral agreement to provide security guarantees or long-term security assistance to Ukraine," the resolution lists existing documented concerns about the Biden administration's policy and highlights the lack of congressional involvement that would allow the American people to have a voice through their elected representatives.
Among other issues, the senators' resolution notes that "Ukraine is not a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization no party to a mutual defense treaty with the United States that has been ratified by the Senate" and highlights the fact that "the Biden administration has not provided Congress with a defined strategy or goals for United States engagement in Ukraine for more than 2 years."
