I just got to see up close the Ukrainian flag that President Zelenskyy presented in his address before Congress last night. Powerful to read all the words and see the signatures of the fighters at the frontlines. “With full respect and gratitude from the defenders of Bakhmut”

The survival of these people is essential to the world order.

I worry about the resolve of the House next year. There are far too many Putin sycophants in the new GQP majority.

push the Russians back to the border and have a Ukrainian victory this very moment. Very happy to call the Ukrainians American allies. May our two nations remain united in friendship forever.
