Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Published: July 08, 2025
WASHINGTON -- Today, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released a statement following President Trump's announcement that the U.S. will end its pause on security assistance to Ukraine.
"I am pleased that President Trump appears to have reversed course on the dangerous and shortsighted decision made by Secretary Hegseth and Under Secretary Colby to continue critical assistance to Ukraine. It is absolutely vital that security assistance continues to flow to force Putin to the negotiating table. Unfortunately, last week's decision sent exactly the wrong message. And it came with a tragic human cost, as dozens of Ukrainians were killed or wounded in some of the biggest air strikes of the war."
