Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States seeks to restore peace in Ukraine.
This is a House Resolution (H. Res. 272) in the 119th Congress that expresses the sense of the House regarding U.S. policy toward the war in Ukraine. It supports the Trump administration’s stated aim to restore peace between Ukraine and Russia without expanding or escalating the conflict. Importantly, as a resolution, it is a non-binding statement of Congressional opinion rather than a law. If adopted, it would signal a desire to reduce and eventually end U.S. involvement—militarily, financially, and in terms of intelligence sharing—and to prioritize domestic concerns (including border security) over foreign commitments. It also calls for withdrawal of U.S. military advisors, intelligence assets, and other government personnel from the conflict and a halt to intelligence sharing with Ukraine and certain European partners that leak U.S. intelligence.
