On Tuesday, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) wasn't in a mood to celebrate the averted government shutdown. Noting that the resolution passed by the House and the Senate only funded the government for another 45 days, he told Fortune CEO Alan Murray that "the one thing where a pound of flesh was extracted was aid for Ukraine."
Speaking onstage at Fortune's CEO Initiative conference in Washington, D.C., the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee didn't hold back. "Nothing could be worse timing or more stupid than cutting off aid for Ukraine at this moment in time."
