Separately, Rep. Elise M. Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, said in an interview with the Times the soldiers are being deployed to support NATO allies in Europe, potentially Poland, Germany and Romania, and “as we continue to see Russia trying to insert itself on the eastern European border and specifically when it comes to potential incursions in Ukraine, it’s important that we stand by European allies.”
“This is not boots-on-the-ground in Ukraine. To be very specific, this is our NATO ally. I support providing munitions and providing that type of financial support to the Ukrainians. And we should have never gotten this far into this,” Rep. Stefanik said.
The Congresswoman said she believes that part of the reason a response to Russia’s aggression is needed is because President Joseph R. Biden “has given (Russian President Vladimir) Putin whatever he’s wanted.”
