A meeting was held this week between members of Congress and members of the Ukrainian parliament. Congressman Fred Upton tells WSJM News it matched much of what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
“The message from these legislators was that they need more ammo, they need more training, obviously they are looking at more humanitarian aid as we have seen close to four million Ukrainians escape to the Polish and Romanian borders.”
Upton says the U.S. needs to continue aid to Ukraine in every way it can.
“They’re not going to give up their country. They’ve fought harder than anybody thought. I think at the beginning, everybody thought Kiev was going to collapse within just a couple of days. Here we are in month two.”
Upton says he heard firsthand stories from members of parliament regarding how they’ve been affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He says some live with air raid sirens in their communities each day.
