This speech from @LeaderMcConnell is one of the strongest I’ve heard on Ukraine and the threat of Russia.

These points are excellent and should resonate and be echoed in a bipartisan way - defending America’s national security is in all our interests beyond party and elections.

Our delays are measured in Ukrainian lives #SlavaUkraini

Everyone talks about seizing RU assets to fund Ukraine's defense/rebuilding, but how would this actually work in practice in the US?

The same tactics are failing today in Ukraine where civilian bombings – and even the return of mass deportations – have strengthened Ukraine’s determination to resist as a unified independent nation. As Estonia has shown, that sentiment won’t diminish even generations later.

Tetiana Yehorova-Lutsenko, Chairperson of the Kharkiv Regional Council: what women in Ukraine need most is more weapons to win the war. That’s what matters now.

My message at #RusConf in Tartu, Estonia:

Ukraine is fighting not only for its own freedom but for all of Europe. Key that the democratic world supports Ukraine as long as necessary to ensure victory.
