Great to be back in DC to make the case to Congress for the urgent need to pass the Ukraine supplemental and why supporting Ukraine is in our strategic national interests.

She said she had informed the legislators that supporting Ukraine "is in our strategic national interests."
Background:
- On Thursday 18 April, US Democrats took an unprecedented step to salvage "Johnson’s bills" containing assistance for Ukraine. They voted during consideration in the House Rules Committee, as three right-wing GOP hardliners refused to participate.
- The final vote on the bills, which provide for multibillion-dollar assistance to Ukraine, should take place by Saturday evening, 20 April.
