We are not being asked to send American troops into war, only to help the Ukrainians defend themselves. If we fail to help Ukraine, Putin will invade a NATO nation. Ukraine is not the end, it is a step—and letting Putin have his way with Europe would jeopardize our security.

In a statement to his colleagues on the Senate floor today, Mitt Romney urged them to back the provision of further aid to Ukraine. He stressed the vital significance of this help and warned of the terrible repercussions if it was not given. According to Romney, arming Ukraine would act as a deterrence to future Russian invasion, and that it would be intolerable to let Russian President Vladimir Putin have his way with Europe. In order for America to continue leading the free world, he emphasized the importance of maintaining NATO. Romney also underlined the need of upholding America’s obligations to its friends and allies, emphasizing the necessity of exhibiting dependability and honesty in international affairs.
