they have those systems already. they want more of them and the mig-29s. he was very explicit. i think we should give all of that. second, he also went out of his way to say what congress can do directly with respect to sanctions. i thought that was a very smart thing he said. doesn t have to wait for joe biden, president biden to do that. he called upon every member of congress to find out if you have american businesses still doing business in russia and, if you do, put pressure on them to stop. stop funding putin s war. ambassador, stand by for me for just a moment. i do want to make sure we get to ukraine and gabe gutierrez who has made his way there. hundreds of thousands have fleed and in the capitol of kyiv, it s
