“Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa delivered one of the most inspiring speeches to a joint session of Congress I have ever witnessed,” tweeted Sen. 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.

(TWOG)
“Watching” includes our state of readiness through close observation not only of world events but also church happenings as they reach elate to Bible prophecy. Likewise, our readiness takes in being instant in prayers, and fastings, while applying ourselves diligently to the service of God and His scattered people. How and why these matters chiefly relate to and are ignored by many in the churches seems to be clear in this most modern of times through history. As one of many proofs of this, we only need be reminded of Paul’s prophecy in
As far as this war in Ukraine is concerned, many see the terrible plight of an innocent people attacked by an imperialist foe determined to take back this former soviet-block country even after promising this would not happen after their last foray into Ukraine when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
