Mike Pence: President Trump Has Stood Strong with Ukraine, We’ve Provided Them Weapons When Obama Gave Blankets

‘This president said we’ll stand for the sovereignty of Ukraine’

PENCE: "Because this was actually — this was actually a call following President Zelensky's win in the parliamentary elections. But his presidential victory was all built on an anti-corruption message. And so, the President wanted to speak about that. The United States of America has stood strong with Ukraine ever since the Russian military overran Crimea and has been underwriting a savage war in the Donbass province of Ukraine. Different from the last administration, we've actually been providing defensive weapons. The Obama Administration was sending them blankets and pillows. But this President said no, we’re going to stand for the territorial integrity and the sovereignty of Ukraine, we've provided them with weapons, the ability to defend themselves."
