like 2012, 2013 when this all began and the annexation of crimea. he issued a statement from arizona earlier today. i ll read a little bit from that statement. he said president trump s decision to provide javelin anti-tank munitions marks another significant step in the right direction and sends a strong signal that the united states will stand by its allies and partners as they fight to defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity. the decision is years overdue. as vladimir putin continues to s sow instability in ukraine and ru russian-led forces escalate their deadly attacks, it could not come at a more important time. when president trump was on the campaign trail for the 2016 election, there was some concern that he would, you know, possibly recognize crimea as russian territory. he said he would consider it. there was fears that he might
