Trump has been wrong in the way he's handled this. I want to give Brian credit as co chair of the Ukrainian Caucus for standing up and saying you cannot reward a dictator. Zelensky was elected by 73% of the Ukrainian population and a free and fair election is dictated by the European Commission that oversees free and fair elections. Putin is the dictator Putin invaded. Zelenskyy is democratically elected. We cannot reward the guy responsible for murdering, for kidnapping, for raping, for all the awful things that have happened to the Ukrainian people.
