Tom Cotton calls Ukraine briefing by Biden admin 'deeply disappointing': 'They're still scared of Putin'
Fox News
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., accuses the White House of 'pussyfooting around' on arming Ukraine because they don't want to back Putin 'into a corner' on 'America's Newsroom.'
SEN. TOM COTTON: Dana, I can share that it was a deeply disappointing briefing, but frankly, it's consistent with what the Biden administration has been acting on for the last two months, they seemed more concerned about Ukraine winning than about Russia winning. We've heard from senior administration officials consistently that they fear the most dangerous result would be Ukraine winning, because that would back Vladimir Putin into a corner. They're still scared of Putin rather than seizing the advantage, brave and skillful Ukrainian army has gained and helped Ukraine win and make Vladimir Putin afraid of Ukraine and afraid of America and afraid of NATO. That's why we should be moving faster to provide the Ukrainians the weapons they need to defend their own territory and ultimately take that territory back from Russians.
