- Mike Pence denied on Sunday that U.S. military weapons stockpile depletion from the Iran war is hurting Ukraine's ongoing fight against Russia.
- Pence told CNN 'State of the Union' host Dana Bash: 'I don't see it that way, and I don't think… the Ukrainians do either.'
Why it matters: Pence offered no evidence for his claim that Ukrainians themselves don't feel shortchanged by US weapons prioritization. His denial leaves unresolved whether the US can fight a war with Iran while continuing to supply weapons to Ukraine, a question his assertion sidesteps rather than answers.
