Senator Risch and I sent a letter last week to the President urging him to show absolute support for Ukraine and to let President Putin know in no uncertain terms that there would be serious consequences.

Ukraine decided to turn to us and to the West and to freedom and democracy, and it was a momentous decision.

We live in dangerous times, do we not? This is a deadly serious moment in the history of Ukraine and in the history of the region.

I know that President Biden spoke with President Putin on this subject today and I look forward to getting the readout from that.

I agree with that and I think it would be a grave mistake if Putin were to decide to invade again.

If there is an invasion, I believe that Russia will not face anything like the same Ukrainian resistance it did in 2014.

If you`re focused on the tweets and not focused on actually accomplishing what people are looking to have happened for them and their family, you know, I think you are getting out of touch with the American people.

I have appreciated the testimony this morning, and I have looked at the background of all three of our candidates.

I do think that this risk is only going to increase, as was said.

I appreciate your personal involvement in this.

I have also spoken to the FBI director about this and made sure that we are doing everything we can from the law enforcement point of view to resolve this issue.
