An important piece from your citation: "In fact, all of the members of Congress who belong to the Democratic Socialists of America, including Bush and Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, have broadly backed the Biden administration’s alliance with Ukraine."

So yeah, you can probably find a couple of people on the left opposing arming Ukraine, but they are few and far between.
