"This is going to put Ukraine's long-term stability at risk. President Trump must direct DOD to obligate these funds immediately - there's no reason to delay.

Unless, of course, he's yet again acting at the behest of his favorite Russian dictator & good friend, Putin."

"There is long-held, bipartisan support in Congress for increasing military assistance to Ukraine. Especially since 2014, as they have faced significant and continued military, political, and economic pressure from Russia."

"Without this funding, Ukraine cannot continue developing its defensive capabilities and democratic institutions, as both are necessary to fend off the Kremlin's continued onslaughts. Any delay would be a boon to Russia and Putin - something the President is surely aware of."

"The law states that Ukraine shall receive this important security assistance. The President can't rewrite the law just to help his Russian friends. Stopping this important aid undermines the security of the Ukrainian people and the constitutional role of Congress."
