He added that the United States should be doing “so much more,” including providing anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft defenses.
There is so much more that we should be doing:

▶️ Give Ukraine all of the anti-ship missiles that they need.
▶️ Provide them with a more sophisticated anti-aircraft capability.
▶️ Urge our NATO partners to stop buying any oil and gas from Russia immediately.
He also stressed that the US should “urge our NATO partners to stop buying any oil and gas from Russia immediately.”
US President Joe Biden earlier today backed excluding Russia from the G20 over its special military operation in Ukraine, stressing that NATO would "respond" if Russian President Vladimir Putin uses chemical weapons in Ukraine.
"We will respond if he uses it. The nature of the response would depend on the nature of the use," Biden noted after the summit.
