An American television host on the long-running program 60 Minutes raised concerns about Russia advancing toward NATO borders, specifically Poland, unless Ukraine receives strong support from the United States. The host framed the issue as a direct test of U.S. commitments to European security and warned that hesitation could shift the balance in favor of aggression on Europe’s eastern edge.
In response, Congresswoman Marjorie Green argued that Ukraine is not a U.S. state nor a member of NATO, and she asserted that Washington should not be drawn into conflicts that do not directly affect American interests. She emphasized a message of restraint, suggesting that peace in the region should be pursued without assuming the burden of funding broader military engagements.
Former Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussed a recent conversation with former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. While the conversation details were not disclosed, Zelensky expressed gratitude for the support shown by U.S. lawmakers who met with him, underscoring the importance of allied backing for Ukraine.
Earlier, Zelensky indicated that President Joe Biden had informed him about possible preparations to supply F-16 fighter aircraft to Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in military assistance plans and the ongoing evolution of the security aid framework involving the United States and its partners.
