GOP House leaders say Biden’s policies enabled Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Republican House leaders on Tuesday took President Biden to task over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, arguing that the president’s failed policies have emboldened Vladimir Putin to take more aggressive actions.

"Sadly, President Biden consistently chose appeasement and his tough talk on Russia was never followed by strong action," GOP leaders said.  

"Lethal aid was slow-walked, anti-air and anti-ship capabilities were never directly provided, pre-invasion sanctions proportionate to the aggression Putin had already committed were never imposed, and sanctions on Nord Stream 2 were waived."
