Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) called Sunday on the Trump administration to refocus its energy on defending Ukraine’s sovereignty in peace talks with Russia.
Bacon said the White House was sending “mixed signals” regarding the ongoing negotiations with Russian and Ukrainian officials as bipartisan criticism of an initial 28-point peace plan grows louder.
“I would like to see the president be a stronger advocate for the free country, the sovereign country of Ukraine that wants to be a democracy, wants to be allied with us, and have a little more clear-eyed view of who Putin is, that Putin is the invader,” Bacon said during an interview on ABC’s “This Week” with Jonathan Karl.
“He’s the dictator. He has murdered all of his opponents. But I just don’t see that moral clarity coming from the White House.”
The initial proposal — which Bacon described as “a surrender document” — echoed many of the key demands of the Kremlin, including territorial concessions from Ukraine and limits on the size of its military.
