A group of 100 conservative policy experts, including several senior Trump-administration officials, is mounting a public push to convince members of Congress to support more aid for Ukraine and to recognize that a Russian victory there would have severe ramifications for America’s national security.

The campaign was launched today by the Vandenberg Coalition, a conservative foreign-policy nonprofit, in an open letter shared in advance exclusively with National Review. It follows the House GOP’s decision not to include further funding to support Kyiv and its war effort in a 45-day, stopgap government-funding bill passed over the weekend and the subsequent ouster of Kevin McCarthy from the speakership yesterday.
