Robert Gates criticizes White House for being "slow" to approve weapons to Ukraine

Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates criticized the Biden administration for the pace it's taking to approve weapons systems to Ukraine, given that the embattled country is the "most important" foreign policy issue the U.S. is facing "right now." 

In an interview with "Face the Nation" that aired Sunday, Gates said the intelligence disclosures the Biden administration made to Ukraine and its NATO allies in the lead up to Russia's invasion was "very important." He also called the administration's ability to bring the alliance together in support for Ukraine "very impressive."
