US congressman seeks to send troops to Ukraine amid 'hot' hostilities

on

 The US senator proposed a resolution allowing the US military to use force if Russia deployed "chemical weapons, biological weapons or nuclear weapons" in Ukraine.


The resolution proposed by Adam Kinzinger, a Republican congressman from Illinois, on May 1 would authorize the US President to deploy troops to "assist in the defense and restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity", in response. Russia's use of "chemical, biological or nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory".


The resolution would give the President the authority to determine whether Russian aggression actually took place, without the need for any international investigation. However, this could prompt Ukrainian forces to stage an attack to draw the United States into the conflict, as Russian commanders are accusing Ukraine.


Called the Authorization for the Use of Military Force, or AUMF, the new resolution will be used in the same way as the one introduced in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and renewed every year from the end of the year. 2001. This resolution authorizes the President of the United States to issue orders to conduct military operations in more than 10 countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia and Yemen, without a formal declaration of war.


Kinzinger has publicly called on the United States to get involved in the conflict in Ukraine. Just a day after Russian forces entered Ukraine in February, Kinzinger urged NATO to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine, a move that could allow the US-led military alliance to shoot down the plane and attack it. Russian air defense system.


Although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also called for a no-fly zone, President Joe Biden refused, fearing it would lead to World War 3 with Russia. Kinzinger also pressured the Biden administration to send Polish-aided fighter jets to Ukraine, but the Biden administration refused.


Referring to the risks associated with letting American pilots fly fighter jets into a conflict zone, President Biden said he wanted to avoid "the Third World War."


It remains unclear whether Mr Kinzinger's resolution will be put to a vote. President Biden has said that the US "will respond" to any use of weapons of mass destruction by Russian forces in Ukraine, but he has avoided drawing any binding "red lines". Instead, the US continues to ship weapons to Ukraine and is training Ukrainian troops to use some of these weapons systems in Germany.


Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on April 27 that if a foreign country interferes in Russia's military operation in Ukraine and creates unacceptable strategic threats, Moscow will launch attacks "quickly". like lightning". Putin accused foreign powers of pushing Ukraine to confront Russia directly.
