<message> I am really distressed by Rubio, Vance's, and Trump's recent statements about Ukraine and Peace. They seem to be setting it up to not only Blame Ukraine for the war- but for the lack of a peace agreement. Maintaining pressure on Russia is the only thing that can bring them to the table. Continuing U.S. support for Ukraine has significant economic and strategic benefits for America. Nearly 90% of aid spending stays in the U.S., creating thousands of manufacturing jobs across at least 38 states. The conflict has revitalized NATO burden-sharing, with more allies meeting or exceeding the 2% GDP defense spending goal. Moreover, Russia's military might has been severely degraded without a single U.S. casualty, using only a small fraction of the defense budget. Surrendering to Putin's aggression would undermine these tangible gains and embolden further imperial ambitions that could destabilize central Europe and Asia. Don't let this administration abandon Ukraine. Cutting off aid to Ukraine is against America's economic and national security interests. Congress must remain united against isolationism and continue supporting Ukraine to preserve a rules-based international order and deter unchecked aggression that threatens global stability. Robust support for Ukraine ultimately strengthens American leadership and protects the domestic economy through increased defense manufacturing output. </message>
