“We cannot allow Ukraine to fall”: Hakeem Jeffries, US House Minority Leader and Leader of the House Democratic Caucus, did not rule out sending US troops to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"We can't let Ukraine fall, because if it does, then there's a significant likelihood that America will have to get into the conflict. Not simply with our money, but with our servicewomen and our servicemen," Jeffries told CBS News.

Mr. Jeffries believes that:

🔹 Putin seeks to recreate the Soviet Union and thus will threaten NATO allies, Putin will not stop at Ukraine alone;

🔹 there is a growing pro-Putin faction in the Republican Party who do not want to support Ukraine and they believe that Russia is not an enemy of the US;

🔹 the Ukrainian military held off Russian forces for over two years and it is a strategic success by any definition: those who want to convince the American people that the Ukrainian effort has failed are contributing to Putin's propaganda because the facts say otherwise.
