WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a joint effort, U.S. Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and JD Vance (R-OH), along with U.S. Representative Chip Roy (R-TX-21), have led dozens of their fellow members of Congress in sending a letter to the White House, rejecting further U.S. funding for the war in Ukraine. The lawmakers expressed concerns about the lack of clarity regarding the strategy and goals of the war.

The letter to the White House stated, "These statements imply an open-ended commitment to supporting the war in Ukraine of an indeterminate nature, based on a strategy that is unclear, to achieve a goal yet to be articulated to the public or the Congress."

Dr. Paul, Sen. Vance, and Rep. Roy were joined by several other senators and representatives in their opposition to the funding request. They raised important questions about the progress of the counteroffensive, the strategy being employed, and the administration's exit plan. The lawmakers emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in the use of American taxpayers' money.

The letter read, "It would be an absurd abdication of congressional responsibility to grant this request without knowing the answers to these questions. For these reasons—and certainly until we receive answers to the questions above and others forthcoming—we oppose the additional expenditure for war in Ukraine included in your request."

The lawmakers who signed the letter alongside Dr. Paul, Sen. Vance, and Rep. Roy included Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN), Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), Rep. Paul A. Gosar (R-AZ), Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), and several others.
