Top Biden Administration officials got a first hand look at the war in Ukraine over the weekend. Today, US lawmakers heard more about the trip from Secretary of State Antony Blinken as he testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He told lawmakers that during the train ride to Ukraine's capital city of Kyiv, from what he saw he believes Ukraine is winning the war, and part of that is due to US and NATO preparation prior to the invasion. Blinken said, "It was right in front of us. The Ukrainians have won the battle for Kyiv." However, the secretary says the challenge now is to sustain that power. During the hearing, lawmakers on both sides agreed Ukraine should have the weapons it needs to win but in the same breath said it can't go on forever. The secretary says Russian President Putin's war is having a direct negative effect on the Russian people and businesses. Capitol Hill Correspondent, Erik Rosales reports.
