Senate Republicans Divided Over Graham Proposal to Fast-Track Ukraine's NATO Membership

  • Senator Lindsey Graham proposes a Senate resolution in favor of admitting Ukraine to NATO but faces backlash from Republicans who argue it could provoke war with Russia.
  • Senator Rand Paul and other Republicans warn that admitting Ukraine to NATO could lead to direct war with Russia and oppose Graham's proposal.
  • House Republicans argue that expanding NATO and placing American troops in Ukraine is not in the interest of US citizens and risks World War III.
  • Former Ambassador Grenell says NATO should not expand until existing members meet funding obligations while Biden says now is not the time for Ukraine's membership.
  • Graham's hawkish stance on Ukraine puts him at odds with former President Trump's supporters who favor avoiding foreign interventions.
