Ten years ago, on November 10, 2015, the U.S. Senate passed a defense policy bill that authorized up to $50 million in lethal military aid for Ukraine and mandated a White House response if Russia was found to have violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty. “As Russian aggression continues in eastern Ukraine, NATO [the North Atlantic Treaty Organization] and the U.S. must provide sustained economic, political and military support to enable Ukraine to secure a democratic future,” Sen. Portman said.
