Hoyer: Ukraine, We Are With You

Published | Video Starts at 00:40

And at the outset, let me say that the vote was 227 to 191. But I want to tell the Ukrainian people of those 191 votes, not for this bill. The overwhelming number of those [191 votes] are for Ukraine. I'm sorry they didn't see fit to vote for this bill, but I'm glad they are with Ukraine and the ranking. The chairman of the committee said eloquently he was against Putin and he was for Ukraine. (00:40–00:46)

CLAIM

Asserts that most of the 191 votes against the bill still support Ukraine.
