WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, delivered remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate in support of passing the bipartisan national security supplemental to help our allies in Ukraine stand up to Russian aggression, support our allies in Israel, and protect our partners in the Indo-Pacific.

“There is no more important foreign policy priority than getting this bill passed and signed by the President. It is our number one priority for our national security. You’ve heard my colleagues talk about the fact that this is not about Russia versus Ukraine. That’s what this war immediately is about. But it’s about the free world – democracy versus autocracy,” said Chair Cardin. “The will and fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people is to be admired. Their leadership has been incredible, and they are the ones that have been able to hold back the big Russian army.”
