Sen. Blumenthal, CTPost: 'Zelenskyy doesn’t want or need our troops. But he deeply and desperately needs the tools to win'
Passionate and blunt, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will sometimes open his arms, raising his body as well as his voice, to sound the alarm about what Ukraine needs to beat back Russia’s murderous invasion. Through 18 months of brutal bleeding and death on the battlefield, he has sustained resolve and resilience — in himself and his beloved people. His magnetic energy was as impressive as ever when I recently met with him alongside my colleagues, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, during my fourth visit to Ukraine.

It will be a challenge, but it begins, and maybe ends, with a clear-eyed recognition that our own national security and self-interest are at stake.
