Speakers:
Senators Jim Risch (R-ID) and Roger Wicker (R-MS)—the leading Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Senate Armed Services Committee, respectively—remain two of the most prominent and vocal proponents of US support for Ukraine’s defense and territorial sovereignty, making the clear case that this support is in the American national interest. Their resolute support for Ukraine predates Russia’s full-scale invasion. They pressed the Biden administration to do more to deter Russia in the lead-up to Russia’s decision to invade last February, and continue to lead the campaign to provide Ukraine with the weapons necessary for repelling the Russian forces and ending the war on Ukrainian terms.
Please join Hudson Senior Fellow and Director of the Keystone Defense Initiative Rebeccah Heinrichs for a conversation with Senators Risch and Wicker on US support for Ukraine’s defense on Wednesday, March 29, at 4:00 p.m. A reception will follow.
