Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, another member of the Armed Services Committee, said he spent the past week meeting with Virginia National Guard troops training in Finland, which joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) amid the war in Ukraine.
“They [the Ukrainians] have fought honorably and for the United States to even hint that Russia has done anything more than act as an aggressor in violation of international law undermines the moral authority of the United States,” she said.
But Trump has frequently criticized not only Ukraine, but specifically Zelensky, calling him a “modestly successful comedian” who “talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won, that never had to start.”.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told The Independent that the Trump administration’s actions hurt U.S. credibility.
The United States is currently in the middle of negotiating with Russia and Ukraine to bring an end to the war.
