McCarthy Condemns Russian Actions in Ukraine and Defends Aid

Kevin McCarthy, a Republican Congressman, affirmed his support for aid to Ukraine and condemned Russia's actions in the country during a news conference in Israel. McCarthy rejected a Russian reporter's suggestion that he does not support aid to Ukraine and called on Russia to withdraw its troops from the country. Some Republicans have been critical of sending additional aid to Ukraine, but House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul has called on the Biden administration to send longer-range missiles and artillery to Ukraine.
