Bill Summary

A joint resolution directing the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Ukraine that have not been authorized by Congress.

AI Summary

This joint resolution directs the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities in Ukraine that have not been authorized by Congress, citing the War Powers Resolution and citing significant U.S. involvement in the conflict. The resolution highlights that since February 2022, the U.S. has appropriated nearly $183 billion in support of Ukraine, provided real-time intelligence and targeting information, and authorized Ukraine to use advanced weapons systems like ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) to strike targets inside Russia. The resolution notes that U.S. military personnel have been involved in security cooperation, and that U.S. special forces have been deployed to Ukraine, potentially escalating the risk of direct conflict. Furthermore, the resolution points out that Russian President Vladimir Putin has characterized U.S. support as tantamount to NATO directly entering the war and has updated Russia's nuclear doctrine to potentially consider such support as a joint attack. The resolution requires the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities in or affecting Ukraine within 30 days, unless Congress specifically authorizes continued military involvement, and explicitly states that the resolution should not be construed as authorizing the use of military force.
