Senator Schumer Says Now is Not the Time for U.S. to Waiver in Support of Ukraine

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Washington, D.C. today and his address to a joint meeting of Congress tonight, saying it will be "a day to remember." He calls on House Republicans to heed the Ukrainian leader's words tonight as he speaks about "the horror his people have endured at the hands of Putin." He also urges Congress to move forward and pass the $1.7 trillion Omnibus Spending Bill unveiled yesterday that includes additional funding for the war in Ukraine, saying, "Now is not the time to take our foot off the gas" or waiver in our support. close
