Republican lawmakers on Wednesday warned Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin against sending U.S. military advisers to Ukraine.
Reps. Chip Roy of Texas, Matt Gaetz of Florida, and Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio sent a letter to Mr. Austin asking if the U.S. plans to deploy military advisers to Ukraine either now or in the future.
“Harm to our personnel under such a mission would be a tragedy and could easily trigger Article IV consultations or even an Article V collective security declaration by our NATO Allies under the Washington Treaty,” they wrote. “A military adviser mission would be one more step towards a dangerous, unnecessary war between the United States and Russia.”The Biden administration has been considering sending U.S. military advisors to Ukraine since before Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb. 2022.
