Republican Representative Matt Getz has proposed a resolution demanding that US President Biden disclose details of aid to Ukraine and that the Pentagon share details of the US military presence in the country with lawmakers.
Congressman Gertz submitted a resolution requesting President Biden to submit copies of all documents related to plans to provide military assistance to Ukraine to the House of Representatives. In addition, the resolution also requires Defense Minister Lloyd Austin to disclose the number of military units deployed in Ukraine without congressional approval, including special forces ”The legislator said on the website.
According to legislators, according to the recently leaked confidential documents, there are 14 special forces soldiers in Ukraine, but there is no indication that they are involved in protecting the US Embassy in Kiev.
The senator said that the presence of US special forces in Ukraine increases the risk of the United States getting involved in a conflict with another nuclear power.
The Pentagon has previously confirmed the presence of US troops in Ukraine. According to the representative of the Ministry, this small group of troops provides support for the embassy’s activities and does not participate in combat operations. They did not conceal these data from Congress, the Ministry of Defense said.
The Pentagon is currently investigating leaked materials on social media that describe the situation of the Ukrainian military and plans for the United States and NATO to strengthen their forces. The New York Times pointed out that the documents in early March were allegedly distributed through the “pro government Russian Telegraph Channel”.
According to reports, there may be over 100 files on the internet, and the losses caused are estimated to be considerable. The Pentagon told Russia News Agency that they are studying the leaked information. Russian presidential spokesperson Peskov said in response to questions about the leak that Russia has no doubt that the United States and NATO are directly or indirectly involved in the conflict in Ukraine.
