Schumer: ‘In a Matter of Weeks, Russia Will Outgun Ukraine by 10 to 1’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Again, time is of the essence. Israel was attacked for the first time in its history directly by Iran. The people of Ukraine are now in all-out desperation. In fact, last week, the head of the U.S. European Command testified before the House Armed Services Committee that Russia’s army is now 15 percent larger than it was at the start of the war. And in a matter of weeks, Russia will outgun Ukraine by 10 to 1. 10 to 1! That’s not a very good prospect for Ukraine's survival. And anyone who thinks that the war in Ukraine will stay in Ukraine, remember the warning of Japanese Prime Minister Kishida: Ukraine today may be East Asia tomorrow. Around the world, civilians caught in the crossfires of war await desperately needed humanitarian assistance, so the time for delay is over. Democrats have shown repeatedly our willingness to compromise to get important things done. And I will remind everyone of what I said from the beginning of this Congress. The only way to get things done is in a bipartisan way. So, again, we await to see more details of the speaker's proposal. I urge him to keep working in a bipartisan way to ensure this vital aid gets to our friends abroad as quickly as possible."
