Moskowitz submitted the proposal in response to Greene’s amendments to the Ukraine aid bill.
One of Greene’s amendments called on supporters of the bill, which would send tens of billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine, to enlist in the country’s military in its fight against Russia .
If you want to fund endless foreign wars, you should go fight them.

Rebekah Maciorowski, a U.S. citizen who served as a combat medic on the front lines in Ukraine, responded to Greene’s call by saying, “I did it.”
Moskowitz also introduced a second amendment trailing Greene, seeking to rename his office in the Cannon House office building to the “Neville Chamberlain Room” — a reference to the former British prime minister famous for his failed attempts to appeasement of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler during World War II. 1930s.
Greene has often engaged in anti-Ukrainian rhetoric and sought to delay the $95.3 billion aid package that would allocate $60.84 billion to Ukraine.

As the bill remains mired in delays, Ukraine is suffering from severe ammunition shortages, hampering its efforts on the battlefield.
