"Intel Chair Urges Action on Russian Propaganda in US Congress"

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the president of the Hudson Institute urged Speaker Mike Johnson to approve more aid to Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of supporting Kyiv in its fight against Russia. They argued that protecting Ukraine is crucial for American freedom and values, and called on Johnson to lead in providing assistance. The letter comes as Congress returns to address pressing issues, with Johnson expected to take up Ukraine funding and aid to other allies. The urgency for Ukraine funding has grown as Kyiv struggles against a larger Russian army, and the Biden administration emphasizes the need to provide more weapons to Ukraine promptly.
