The invasion of Ukraine is raging.
Thousands of troops are deploying to Europe to reinforce the defenses of our NATO allies.
“Putin’s attack on Ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. He rejected repeated efforts at diplomacy. He thought western NATO would not respond. He thought he could divide us at home. He thought he could divide us in Europe as well. But Putin was wrong. We are ready and we are united.” - President Biden
Last night, President Biden was met with bipartisan support regarding our readiness to defend our NATO allies. Thousands of troops have already deployed to European countries like Germany, Poland, Latvia, and Moldova. Many more have been put on notice.
