Mike Pence: ‘I Commend President Trump for Continuing to Pursue Peace in Ukraine’

EXCERPT:

PENCE: “Well, I have met Vladimir Putin. And it’s clear to me that Putin doesn’t want peace, Putin wants Ukraine. And I commend President Trump for continuing to pursue peace in Ukraine today. He is, quite frankly, surrounded by a lot of isolationist voices in and outside the administration that, frankly, would have cut Ukraine off a long time ago. And so, I’m grateful the president has stayed after it. I’m grateful that he renewed military support, and I commend him for meeting with President Putin and meeting with President Zelenskyy and our European allies. But, Michael, I think one thing is missing. And that is, I believe the time has come for the United States Senate to enact those strong secondary sanctions against Russia and send them to the president’s desk.”
