Grateful to lead this letter with nearly two-dozen @UkraineCaucus colleagues calling for Ukraine to be allowed to use Starlink to hit launch sites within Russia. Ukraine must be able to defend itself, its people, and the West! The best way is to destroy Russia’s ability to launch its terrorist attacks.

The @UkraineCaucus urges @POTUS to ensure Ukraine can disable the Russian missile launchers killing civilians.
“If Ukraine cannot reliably intercept Russian ‘arrows,’ it must be able to shoot the ‘archer.’ The Starlink system run by Mr. Musk’s @SpaceX could help with that.”
EXCLUSIVE: Nearly two-dozen House members are urging President Trump to ask Elon Musk to give Ukraine access to Starlink systems inside Russia to hit missile launchers, according to a letter sent Wednesday and obtained exclusively by The Hill.

Joined @kaitlancollins on @CNN tonight to discuss deeply troubling reports of Starshield restrictions in Ukraine.
These allegations demand a full congressional investigation. We will establish the facts, determine who was responsible, and pursue accountability.
Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine is defending its own land. There is no moral equivalence. America must never waver in its defense of freedom, nor equivocate in the face of aggression.

At the invitation of @UkraineCaucus, together with Rear Admiral (Ret.) @MarkCMontgomery, I briefed congressional staffers on Ukraine’s technological advances and the critical role of Starlink and Starshield in Ukraine’s defense.
We also discussed Russia’s Rassvet satellite system, reportedly developed with products from Chinese companies, and the security risks it could pose once operational.
We must act now and sanction those involved before this technology further strengthens Russia’s military capabilities.
Thank you, @DougKlain for excellent moderation and organisation.
The @UkraineCaucus hosted a staff briefing with @DenysSienik and @MarkCMontgomery on Starlink and the need to counter Russia's "Rassvet" alternative. Staff also discussed the need for Ukraine to be able to use Starshield to target the missile launchers terrorizing civilians.

Congress overwhelmingly passed tough sanctions on Russia & @POTUS signed them into law. Let’s finally use them instead of propping up Putin’s war machine. We should be standing with Ukraine, on the side of freedom & democracy.

I will be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team this week to discuss Starshield, sanctions, and other matters pertaining to the defense of our strong ally, Ukraine. I will be assuring President Zelenskyy that anyone who attempts to limit the use of Starshield for Ukraine will be fully investigated and will be held fully accountable, to include public congressional oversight hearings, and immediate harsh and punitive budget cuts to any responsible agency or agency head.
Congress will unequivocally reaffirm that Ukraine is an indispensable ally to the United States, that Russia is a self-declared enemy of the United States, and that the United States will 100% support and defend the people of Ukraine in their fight for their own freedom against this brutal, illegal, and unprovoked Russian invasion.
The United States must provide any and all defensive equipment that Ukraine needs to defend itself. The United States must not import a single drop of Russian oil. Sanctions against the Russian regime must be harsher and stronger than they’ve ever been before. Each and every one of these items will be brought to the House Floor—and each and every one of these items will pass on the House Floor by an overwhelming margin.
This is, after all, what Ronald Reagan would do. And this is what we will do now. Ukraine can, and will, defeat Russia. #PeaceThroughStrength

This morning I joined Congressional leaders in meeting with President @ZelenskyyUA to discuss the urgent need for the US to end restrictions on Starlink and fully restore intelligence sharing to save Ukrainian lives from Russian strikes. By restricting these tools, the Trump Administration isn't just leaving Ukrainians out to dry, it's also endangering American diplomats and servicemembers stationed at our US Embassy in Kyiv. We must stand up to Vladimir Putin, and protect our people, and our Ukrainian allies.
Thank you, @SenBlumenthal and @SenThomTillis, for the opportunity to meet with you and your colleagues from both parties and both chambers of Congress. I informed them about Russia’s brutal “shahed” drone attack in the Kharkiv region, where Russia killed six people, including a mother and her child, who was just over a year old. I showed the horrifying photos from the scene – a child killed in a stroller… This is how Russia responds to sanctions waivers and reduced pressure.
I also explained where things stand with intelligence sharing and Starlink operations in Ukraine. Unfortunately, we received no early warning from our partners about the first wave of the Russian ballistic missile attack last night. And we still face speed restrictions on Starlink and Starshield services in different parts of the front. No explanation for either of these issues has been provided to Ukraine by the American side.
Our teams will follow up on everything discussed today. I thank everybody who participated in this call for their strong support.

We should add that Putin has murdered or imprisoned his political opponents. He’s attacked multiple countries. And now, a cornered rat.
Vance: "I've never met Putin in person. I've spoken to him on the phone. He was calmer than you might expect. The American media has a stereotype of him. He's very deliberate and measured in his words.
I think, at his core, he's someone who cares about Russia's interests as he sees them. One reason he respects the President is that he recognizes the President cares about the interests of the American people."

The President is prolonging the war, not ending it.

I’m leading an effort with @RepJimCosta and my fellow Co-Chairs of the @UkraineCaucus to make sure the United States delivers on the Russian sanctions we promised. We must continue defending Ukraine and enforce the law we just passed a few weeks ago.

If the Trump Administration was involved in the decision to restrict Ukraine’s Starlink access as Musk claims, it would represent a heinous act of betrayal to our ally & fellow democracy under assault by a despot.
This shameful act must be reversed to ensure this war ends with a Ukrainian victory.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 22 U.S. lawmakers from both parties are urging President Trump to fully and promptly implement the sanctions authorized by the Lindsey Graham law and explain how the Administration reconciles sanctions relief for Russia with the statutory ban on Russian energy imports.
Thank you to @RepJimCosta for leading this effort with @UkraineCaucus co-chairs @RepMikeQuigley, @RepMarcyKaptur, @RepBrianFitz, and @RepJoeWilson — and to all the other members who joined this letter.
