WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Republican Congressman Paul Gosar told Sputnik on Saturday that the United States should adopt the recent resolution introduced by lawmakers of the US House of Representatives, which calls for an immediate end to US assistance to Kiev and a peace settlement in Ukraine.
"America should not help to prolong a needless war and adding to the body count. The current posture is untenable and a pathway to peace is long overdue. Months of escalation in weaponry and rhetoric endangers not just the citizens of Russia and Ukraine, but the whole world. It's long past time to seek a peaceful resolution and end the unfortunate death and destruction plaguing both countries," Gosar said.
At the same time, Gosar had no comment on the recent report by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, which claims that the United States was involved in the attack on Russia's Nord Stream pipelines.
On Wednesday, Hersh published a report saying that US Navy divers during NATO Baltops exercises in the summer of 2022 planted explosives to destroy the Nord Stream pipelines, which Norway activated three months later. According to the report, US President Joe Biden decided to sabotage the Nord Streams after more than nine months of secret discussions with the national security team.

Will Ukraine Fatigue Among US Lawmakers Bring Kiev Militarization to End?
On Friday, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz and 10 co-sponsors, including Gosar, introduced the Ukraine Fatigue Resolution calling for the US to end its assistance to Kiev and urging a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the country. According to the resolution, Washington has provided more than $110 billion in financial, military and humanitarian aid to Kiev since February 24, 2022.
"America is in a state of managed decline, and it will exacerbate if we continue to hemorrhage taxpayer dollars toward a foreign war. We must suspend all foreign aid for the War in Ukraine and demand that all combatants in this conflict reach a peace agreement immediately," Gaetz said in the statement.
The resolution expresses the sense of the House that the United States "must end its military and financial aid to Ukraine." The United States is inadvertently contributing to civilian casualties by providing assistance, the resolution also said.
