During a speech on the Senate floor early Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed President Biden over the current crisis in Ukraine as tens of thousands of Russian soldiers have been amassing near Ukraine’s border in apparent preparation for an invasion. “Right now, as we speak, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops are amassed on the border of Ukraine, waiting to invade,” Cruz said. “This calamitous foreign policy disaster is Joe Biden’s fault.
