Washington, D.C. – Today, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) issued the following statement praising President Trump’s announcement that additional U.S. weapons will be sent to Ukraine, with funding provided by NATO allies:

"Today’s decision to send additional weapons to Ukraine, financed by our NATO allies, is a major turning point. It puts real pressure on Putin to come to the table and demonstrates the strength of the NATO alliance. It’s also a direct result of President Trump’s leadership. He has made NATO stronger by demanding that all our allies step up, and now they are. 
 
President Trump has made clear he is determined to end the bloodshed in Ukraine and secure a strong, lasting peace. But Putin has lied, delayed, and negotiated in bad faith at every turn. Putin has been given every opportunity to choose peace, but, instead, the Russian dictator continues bombing innocent civilians.
 
Thanks to the stronger NATO that President Trump has helped build and today’s decision, we’re in a better position to bring this war to an end and deter future Russian aggression."
