Republican Senators Ask Biden to Send Fighter Jets to Ukraine
News - Middle East: US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and several other Republicans in the Senate have called on President Joe Biden to send fighter jets and air defense systems to Ukraine, amid an ongoing Russian military operation in the country.
Graham on Wednesday introduced a resolution, which is backed by nine other Republican senators, throwing formal Senate support behind Biden to "support the transfer of aircraft, such as MiG-29s, and air defense systems to Ukraine" and give Senate backing to efforts by other countries to transfer planes or air defense systems to Ukraine.
"I'm urging the Senate to speak with one voice, to meet the moment. ... If we had a vote on the resolution to supply the Ukrainian military with the MiG fighters and other air defense systems, it would be a shot in the arm to Ukrainian people and their military," Graham said.
"It would be a blow to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin. If we do this soon, I think it really could help the outcome of this conflict," he added.
