Former Vice President Mike Pence Thursday jetted into Ukraine to back the embattled nation’s fight to repel the Russian invasion amid deep divisions over the war within the Republican presidential field.
After meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Pence called the trip an emotional journey to show firm unity against the “unconscionable and unprovoked Russian invasion.”
“I believe America’s the leader of the free world,” the Republican presidential candidate said. “Coming here ... just steels my resolve to do my part, to continue to call for strong American support for our Ukrainian friends and allies.”
