Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, on Sunday called for a strong response from the Biden administration as tensions continue to rise with Russia's potential invasion of Ukraine.
"We simply need to let Putin know that the United States stands with our Ukrainian friends," Ernst told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.
"What's the likelihood you see of a Russian invasion at this point, and why should Americans be worried about that?" Raddatz asked.
"Well, we need to be strong as America," said Iowa's junior Republican senator, who sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee. "And what we see with Russia amassing troops and equipment at the Ukrainian border is indicative of some sort of action. What that will transpire into is yet to be seen."
