U.S. Representative Byron Donalds has been outspoken about President Biden’s lack of leadership on a national and global scale.

Donalds says the Russians’ invasion of Ukraine should not shock anyone. Donalds says the shock should actually be that President Biden waited on our European allies to act. He waited for consensus about what Doanlds noted was “the inevitable.”

These allies also depend on Russia. “The truth is, our European allies are buying Russian oil to power their countries. So, of course, they’re going to have a conflict of interest of how far they want to go,” said Rep. Donalds. “But any type of weakness in the face of aggression only breeds more aggression.”

Just hours ago, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine confirmed the U.S. would offer more support in resisting Russia.

In part, the tweet said U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has assured more sanctions and weapons are coming as long as Ukraine is under Russian assault.

The invasion is now under investigation. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is looking into alleged crimes connected to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
