Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “They are not asking for American soldiers to do the fighting — they are asking for weapons and economic assistance so they can stay in the fight. Ukraine’s victory is our victory.”
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, also tweeted his support for continuing to provide assistance to Ukraine, suggesting that the U.S. should “accelerate, not curtail, our support.”
“President Zelenskyy’s address to Congress was an inspiring call to action for America,” said Portman, whose term ends after this year. “We must continue to provide more aid to Ukraine to ensure that it can defeat Russia’s aggression and win this war.”
Jerry Moran, R-Kan., tweeted: “The U.S. has been essential in helping Ukraine fight back against Russian aggression and supporting their freedom and democracy. I appreciate that Zelensky acknowledged the American people’s support for Ukraine and graciously thanked each American.”
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, lauded Zelenskyy’s speech, calling it “historic” in a tweet Wednesday. “Americans & Ukrainians are partners for democracy Zelenskyy made that very clear.
