Call with President Zelensky on Providing More Aircraft, More Support, Immediately
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin), just finished an hour-long call with President Volodymyr Zelensky and congressional colleagues in the Ukraine Caucus. He released the following statement:
“Powerful comments from President Zelensky. More Ukrainian civilians than military have been killed, with civilians targeted and tortured. Because they control the skies, Russians can advance. Without engaging U.S. pilots in direct conflict with Russians, we can facilitate Ukrainian access to aircraft with which Ukrainian pilots are already trained and which are held in other Eastern European countries. In addition to the trade sanctions bill that I have authored and which the House can pass next week, I support getting Ukraine access to the fighter jets needed to confront Putin in the skies.”
