Republican Congressman Proposes New Lend-Lease Law for Ukraine.
Congressman Wilson Makes New Legislative Proposal for Ukraine
Congressman Joe Wilson has announced that he is proposing a new bill on lend-lease for Ukraine that will facilitate the supply of weapons.
The legislator reported this on his account on the social network X.
Today I will present the FREEDOM FIRST LEND-LEASE ACT to give President Trump flexible powers to send winning armaments to our partners, including Ukraine, to deter the war criminal Putin, whom Biden should have dealt with long ago. We will make Russia sit at the table thanks to American strength!

The bill titled 'FREEDOM FIRST LEND-LEASE ACT' aims to provide more flexible rights for supplying weapons to U.S. allies, particularly Ukraine. According to Wilson, this bill will help deter Russia by showcasing American strength.
The congressman has experience in similar legislative initiatives. In 2022, he was the author of a successful bipartisan lend-lease law for Ukraine (Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022), which was passed by Congress and streamlines the process of providing defense assistance.
Wilson is the chairman of the U.S. Helsinki Commission and a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he chairs the Subcommittee on the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia.
