The House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday allowing the Biden administration to more easily lend and lease military equipment to Ukraine, which is currently under siege by Russian troops. But 10 House Republicans, most of them on the right flank on the party, voted against the measure. That comes after 8 Republicans voted against suspending normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus in March amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

These are the 10 House Republicans who voted against the 'Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022' aid bill:

Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona
Rep. Dan Bishop of North Carolina
Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida
Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
Rep. Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin
Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky
Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania
Rep. Warren Davidson of Ohio
Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina

The 'Know-nothing Caucus' or maybe the Anti-Democracy Caucus...

I've refrained from using that term in reference to Trump supporters, and decried HRC's use.

But in relation to the above list of politicos, I believe the term is accurate & appropriate.

Add to that list the following GOP of lawmakers who went to Russia in 2018, right after the Republican lead Senate committee confirmed the conclusions by the U.S. intelligence community that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump win the White House.
The GOP lawmakers, Sen. Richard Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Thune (S.D.), John Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.) and John Hoeven (N.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), spent July 4 in Moscow’s U.S. Embassy.
It is a good thing to identify the Russian puppets within our government.

That list motivated me to find out what in the world they might believe is wrong with sending weapons and other war materials to Ukraine to help fight the Russians.
They can't be stupid or pro Russian, can they?

Those 10 can easily be both.
