Rep. Quigley says Zelensky’s courage has managed to unite NATO in only a few weeks, despite the fact Ukraine is not even a member nation, and he’s proving Putin made a huge miscalculation by taking him lightly.

Rep. Quigley’s Chicago constituents include a neighborhood known as Ukrainian Village, and he’s had conversations with Zelensky prior to today’s speech.
