Chris Christie Visits Ukraine, Tours Sites Of War Crimes

The Washington Post reports:

Republican Chris Christie, waging a long-shot bid for his party’s presidential nomination, visited Ukraine on Friday where he met President Volodymyr Zelensky on a trip that underscored the sharp GOP divisions over U.S. support for the country in its war against Russia and the high stakes for Ukraine, which now depends on American military and economic aid for its survival.
