“I don’t think we need to use force in Ukraine right now.
I just submitted a document authorizing the use of military force.
This will give the president leverage in the event of the use of weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine, nuclear, biological or chemical, ”the congressman said on CBS.
Kinzinger emphasized that the document does not force the president to make such a decision, but confirms that he has this option.
