A GOP lawmaker blasted the Trump administration for its latest decisions on Ukraine.

U.S. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) has been outspoken about President Donald Trump’s handling of the Russia-Ukraine war and has been adamant about his support for Ukraine in recent days. In an interview with CNN’s Pamela Brown on Monday, Bacon said it was a “terrible mistake” to not include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in talks to end the war.

“It’s a terrible mistake not to have the Ukrainian leader in the talks. We’ve seen the history of this. I remember when the Trump administration was negotiating with the Taliban without the Afghan government that really weakened the Afghan government that they’re after. Ukraine is our ally. They want to be part of the West. Russia is our adversary, and it’s time that this administration gets this in their brain,” Bacon said on CNN.

“They’re treating Putin with velvet gloves, and they’re being harsh to our allies. I got to tell you, I’m hearing from all over the world, but particularly lots of Republicans in Omaha who do not like what they see,” he added. (NJ.com)
