4m ago 06:50 Lead impeachment manager Adam Schiff warned that the Trump administration’s freeze on Ukrainian military assistance jeaopardized the crucial alliance between Washington and Kyiv.

“Colleagues, this is how alliances wither and die,” Schiff said. “This is how Russia wins.”

Schiff noted that the Trump administration backed Ukrainian military assistance in 2017 and 2018, but he said the White House had abandoned that support last year because officials were prioritizing the president’s electoral prospects.

“If our allies cannot trust us to stand behind them in a time of need, we will not have a single ally left,” Schiff warned.
