On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement after the Senate failed to pass the Protecting Europe's Energy Security Implementation Act:

"It is unacceptable that while Ukraine is being surrounded by Russian troops, most Democrats chose to ignore the pleas and wishes of our friends in Ukraine. Instead of showing strength, they undermined current law and their own previous position, and cemented Biden's gift to Putin. This type of weakness only continues to embolden Putin."
