ukraine is dire today but the reality is that the there's a gathering storm that i think our allies here in europe recognized. that's what it's so heartening to me to see speaker mike johnson and the republican leadership moving forward on an aid bill. i think america is the leader of the free world. jake i think it's important in this moment that we accept that responsibility that we renew support for the ukrainians who fought against this unprovoked and brutal invasion. >> now for more than two years, give them what they need to make the fight because as i said here today, and i've said for many years i have no doubt in my mind having met vladimir putin that if putin were allowed to overrun ukraine, it would not be long before he crossed the border of a nato country. where our men and women in uniform, it'd be required to fight. so the situation is dire vladimir
