"Look, I want to focus on the reality. We had the IMF managing director here in a private session with the members of the committee..."

"I personally have been an advocate, as I think the majority of this committee has, of providing lethal weapons to the Ukrainians--lethal defensive weapons to the Ukrainians."

"The Budapest Agreement where we gave Ukraine security assurances if they gave up their nuclear weapons that we would protect their territorial integrity, that has not worked out too well for them."

"Ukraine needs serious military aid and assistance to be able to defend its territory and to push back against these Russia-backed separatists."
