Defend Ukraine from Russian aggression, uphold democratic values

The recent meeting at the White House between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and President Zelensky was an alarming display that jeopardizes American interests and undermines longstanding alliances. President Trump's hostile rhetoric towards Zelensky, a stalwart ally fighting for Ukraine's survival against Russia's unprovoked invasion, signals a concerning pivot towards capitulation to Putin's aggression. Dismissing Zelensky's pleas for continued U.S. support while parroting Kremlin talking points raises fears that Trump may unilaterally cut military aid to Ukraine. Such a move would not only betray a democratic partner but gravely threaten European security and the rules-based international order the U.S. has championed since WWII. As an elected representative, I urge you to forcefully condemn the White House's treatment of Zelensky and take immediate action to reaffirm robust assistance to Ukraine in defending its territorial integrity and sovereignty from Russian subjugation. The American people and our allies are counting on Congress to uphold our nation's values and strategic interests in the face of this administration's reckless abandonment.
