A member of the House of Representatives of the US Congress from the Republican Party Adam Kilanzinger presented a resolution on permission to use military force (AUMF). In the event of adoption, the document will allow President Joe Biden to use the American military to protect Ukraine if Russia applies chemical, biological or nuclear weapons against its neighbor, Kommersant reports.
“I do not think that we now need to use force in Ukraine. I just introduced AUMF, permission to use military force that gives the president, in fact, the support of the congress to obtain permission to use it if weapons are used in Ukraine mass destruction, nuclear, biological or chemical, ”said the cilantro.
The text of the legislator resolution says that in the case of the use of nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, the president can authorize the use of the armed forces if he believes that such a step is necessary to “protect the interests of the US National Security in relation to Ukraine” and “assisting in protection and restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine “.
