Hearing

Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Defense Foreign Aid Foreign Affairs

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

One final point on Ukraine, about which I shared the Chairman's commitment. It is critical that the Administration provide Ukraine with what it needs in time to defend and take back its sovereign territory. We expect the Administration not to wait until the 11th hour if the Ukrainians need more before the end of the fiscal year.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

In January, the Department [of Defense] announced that 31 Abrams tanks would be delivered to Ukraine. The latest information I have is that that will not occur until this fall. Is that accurate? Could you update us on what the current delivery schedule is and whether there's any way to accelerate the delivery of these tanks to Ukraine?
