WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) issued the following statement regarding President Biden’s comments at his press conference today where he suggested President Putin may launch a “minor incursion” of Ukraine:

“I am deeply troubled by comments from President Biden where he said a Russian invasion may just be ‘a minor incursion.’ This is the wrong way to view this threat. Any incursion by the Russian military into Ukraine should be viewed as a major incursion because it will destabilize Ukraine and freedom-loving countries in Eastern Europe.”
