Summary

As Russia's war on Ukraine continues, the U.S. has maintained support for the Ukrainian people, with President Biden recently asking Congress for approval on an additional $33 billion to fund Ukraine's defense efforts. Along with financial support, the West has been very unified in punishing Russia economically for its hostile actions, especially when it comes to energy. Due to time limitations, we could not include the full interview in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) discussing the tragic devastation of Ukraine that he witnessed on his trip and what long-term war could mean for the U.S. and the world.
