Ricketts Supports President Trump’s Move to Sell Weapons to Europe in Support of Ukraine

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE), a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement in support of President Trump’s move to sell weapons to Europe in support of Ukraine.

“For over three years, Ukraine has courageously fought and dismantled Russia’s military. Russia is one of our top adversaries. I support President Trump’s move to sell American munitions to NATO in support of Ukraine’s war efforts against Vladimir Putin’s Russia. If Putin succeeds in his brutal war against Ukraine, NATO allies like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland could be next and American lives would be at risk. Military support for Ukraine keeps Americans safe, supports American jobs and our defense industry. Supporting Ukraine keeps our troops at home.”
