Ukraine easily has an outright majority in the House, majority of the majority rule is so toxic. Discharge petition?

Now would be an excellent time for it.

I suspect Ukraine does have a majority of the majority (which isn't even a rule just a tradition). But MTG will move to vacate Johnson if he brings it up.

If so, he stands a good chance of surviving her vacate attempt.

He would need help from at least a few democrats and they may not give it.

They will if they don't want Putin to start scoring victories in Ukraine, with all the foreign policy ramifications that would bring...
