In a recent interview with House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Mike Turner, the urgency of providing aid to Ukraine was the focus of discussion. Speaking on CBS' Face the Nation, Rep. Turner highlighted the importance of supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression.

Rep. Turner emphasized that the world has witnessed the war of aggression initiated by Russia and stressed that this conflict is a battle between authoritarianism and democracy. He expressed concern over the brutal and murderous actions occurring in Ukraine, stating that a strong response is necessary.

Notably, Speaker Johnson has made it clear that he supports Ukraine, both publicly and through direct communication with Ukrainian President Zelensky and the Secretary General of NATO. Rep. Turner expects overwhelming support for the funding package in Congress, especially after recently passing bills that fund the federal government.

When asked about potential tweaks to the legislation that might be required to secure Republican support, Rep. Turner noted that there is already significant and strong support among Republicans and across the nation. He acknowledged that discussions regarding the border and the structuring of non-military humanitarian aid would likely take place during the legislative process.

Regarding the timeline for passing the aid package, Rep. Turner expressed hope that it would be done before Congress takes its next week-long break, which is scheduled to begin around April 22. He emphasized the critical point at which Ukraine finds itself and the potential ramifications of delayed action. Rep. Turner stressed the importance of preventing Putin from achieving his goal of expanding the conflict beyond Ukraine.

Rep. Turner acknowledged the difficulties caused by previous congressional inaction, which has emboldened Putin. While losses have been avoided thus far, strains on resources and ammunition have impacted Ukrainian soldiers' ability to fight. He also called for the provision of longer-range weapon systems to enable Ukrainians to push back against Russian aggression effectively.

Responding to questions about Republican retirements from Congress, Rep. Turner expressed concern but was not aware of any additional Republican members planning to leave. He emphasized the challenges posed by radical fringes causing disruptions and the need for lawmakers focused on getting the job done.

In a more lighthearted moment, Rep. Turner shared his thoughts on President Trump's newly unveiled "God Bless the USA Bible." While he didn't express interest in purchasing a copy, he redirected attention to what he deemed as more important issues, such as the alleged restriction of children's religious expression during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

As the interview concluded, Rep. Turner expressed gratitude for the opportunity to discuss national security and assured viewers of Speaker Johnson's commitment to passing the aid package.

The urgency to provide aid to Ukraine remains at the forefront of discussions in Congress, with support from both Republicans and Democrats being sought to address the ongoing Russian aggression.
