For over 10 hours on Saturday, December 10, the group, approved by the House Armed Services Committee, met with multiple agencies and task forces regarding the future of Ukraine.

In a zoom recap of the event, Wilson mentioned how Ukraine’s perseverance reminds him of the will the United States had during the American Revolution.
