President Trump should give the Ukraine “lethal maritime equipment and weapons” in the wake of Russia’s seizure of three Ukrainian naval vessels in a key disputed shipping lane, according to the top Senate Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee.

“Yesterday’s events show that the Kremlin remains sharply intent on weakening Ukraine’s security and democratic trajectory,” New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez said in a statement Monday. “In response, the Trump Administration must immediately increase security assistance to Ukraine, including the provision of lethal maritime equipment and weapons.”
