Sen. Cardin Urges Trump Not to Withdraw Support for Ukraine: Some of His Comments Are Very Disturbing

EXCERPT:

CARDIN: “The Ukraine situation is still extremely serious. We need to be with Ukraine. It's the front line of defense of -- for democracy. We know that Russia will not stop with Ukraine. We know there are many other countries that feel at risk if Ukraine is not able to defend its sovereignty. That requires international support from democratic states led by the United States. So we need to continue to be there and then we need to look for a way in which we can resolve the conflict, but we can't do that by pulling away our support from Ukraine. So I know some of the president-elect's comments are very disturbing. I’ve talked to the Ukrainians. I’ve talked to the Europeans several times. I think they question whether America's resolve will be there. I can tell you, we have bipartisan support in the United States Congress to stand with Ukraine because we recognize the importance to our national security.”
