Reuters, Washington, 31 August 2014 – Senator Robert Menendez, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called on Sunday for the United States to arm Ukraine in its effort to repel what he called a Russian invasion.
“We … should be providing the Ukrainians with the types of defensive weapons that will impose a cost upon (Russian President Vladimir) Putin for further aggression,” the New Jersey Democrat told CNN’s “State of the Union” program from Kiev.
