Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview that the United States should tighten the screws on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war machine and help Ukraine achieve victory.

Pompeo, who once served in the Army’s armored cavalry division patrolling the border of the Iron Curtain in Europe, said it was time to bolster Ukraine’s forces fully and demand the same of our allies. And though he applauded President Joe Biden for providing defensive weaponry and other aid to Ukraine, he said the speed and scale of the response were lacking.
