Oppose Trump's open alliance with Russia and restore full military support for Ukraine. Trump has suspended the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, announced a "diesel deal" to purchase and market Russian fuel, and cut Ukraine off from the military elements of Starlink, crippling Ukrainian drone operations. These are not the acts of a neutral mediator. They are the acts of a wartime ally to Putin.
The consequences are concrete and immediate. Without Starlink navigation, Ukraine cannot intercept incoming Russian drones, the same drones striking residential buildings. The US is also withholding approvals for Patriot missile interceptor transfers, leaving Ukrainian cities exposed to ballistic missile attacks. Meanwhile, Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are reportedly working with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to pressure Germany back into buying Russian gas, with Trump-linked firms taking a cut.
This is corruption and betrayal dressed up as diplomacy. Congress must act. Restore Starlink military access to Ukraine, enforce the Graham Act as written, and block any arrangement that funnels frozen Russian assets or energy profits to Trump associates. Ukraine is holding the line for all of democratic Europe. The US must not be the country that hands Putin the win.
