Pelosi, a California Democrat who is second in line to succeed the president, is the most senior American lawmaker to travel to Ukraine since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Her Saturday visit came just days after Russia launched rockets at the capital during a visit by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres.
During a Sunday news conference in the Polish city of Rzeszow, Pelosi said she and other members of a U.S. congressional delegation met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, for three hours and brought him “a message of appreciation from the American people for his leadership.”
Rep. Jason Crow, a U.S. Army veteran and a member of the House intelligence and armed services committees, said he came to Ukraine with three areas of focus: “Weapons, weapons and weapons.”
“We have to make sure the Ukrainians have what they need to win. What we have seen in the last two months is their ferocity, their intense pride, their ability to fight and their ability to win if they have the support to do so,” the Colorado Democrat said.
Another $33,000,000,000 of appreciation for our precious Ukraine. On top of the $14,000,000,000 we recently gave them. That’s $47 Billion.
Good to see the Defense Dept’s weapons manufacturers don’t have to be worried about hard times after the Afghanistan war ended.
And, at least in one aspect, its similar to Afghanistan: As CNN reported, the US has no idea what’s happening to the weapons we’re sending to Ukraine.
Good Morning, Viet Nam.
looking for votes – but to no avail
Should have brought a republican as well. Show bipartisan support.
And why hasn’t the president still not gone to Ukraine
What a fake person this Nancy Pelosi is lineing her pockets with our tax $$$$$ in the name of Ukraine
Pelosi has the same disease that Biden has, they can’t even remember their own name
