Today, I shared the news of unblocked Ukrainian aid to my dear friend, who is a special forces #Ukrainian defender. He has been in combat 790 days. The most hardened fighters in modern times have no idea how a person could do this.

Ukrainians don't a have a choice, they must fight the Russian genocidal Army. He has put down many hundreds of Russian invaders, possibly > thousand. Today, he said, "Thank you"

We should be thanking him & all Ukrainian defenders.

It should have never taken this long. This should have passed months ago.The need and urgency has been clear for a long time. House Republicans blocking aid, on the orders of Donald Trump, underminded our allies and empowered American adversaries.Their actions are inexcusable.

Ukraine has gone above and beyond to hold Putin back, and keep Europe and America from having to fight a wider war.They have been doing their job.

Americans, please urge swift passage in the Senate. #Ukraine can not afford to wait any longer.
