WASHINGTON, D.C.(WNAX)- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made an emotional appeal to Members of Congress today for more help in defending his country against the Russian invasion.

South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds says it was a moving speech.

Rounds says there are some effective weapons systems that can help.

Rounds says the US shouldn’t worry about an aggressive reaction from Russia.

Rounds says members of both parties are pushing the Biden Administration to step up the economic pressure on Russia by extending and expanding sanctions.
