Schumer: ‘The Situation in Ukraine Is Beyond Desperate ... Pass the Senate Supplemental This Week’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “I spoke with the U.N. — U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine yesterday who told me the situation in Ukraine is beyond desperate. With few air defenses, there is little stopping Russian drones from targeting Ukrainian power plants and leaving more and more residents without electricity. And the danger here is that these power outages will become a long-term problem. She told me the equipment that was destroyed are so large, the kinds of transformers and other machinery, that it takes a long time to rebuild them and replace them. The U.S. Ambassador reiterated President Zelenskyy’s point that Ukraine will lose this war until it gets — unless it gets the defense materials, the ammunition, and the anti-aircraft resources it needs immediately.”
