YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, fresh off a visit to Ukraine, challenged House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday to tour the war-ravaged country as both pols’ parties battle over additional US aid.

“I cannot emphasize enough how important it was for me to go, to see with my own eyes, what the brave people of Ukraine have endured for two long years,” Schumer said. “The resolve of American strength, and even the durability and potency of Western civilization, all hang in the balance.”

Schumer (D-NY) and four other Democratic senators visited Ukraine on Friday ahead of the two-year anniversary of Russia’s brutal invasion of its neighbor.
