Bay Area Congressman Calls for Increased Support for Ukraine

East Bay congressman Eric Swalwell who just returned from visiting with refugees is urging NATO allies and the Biden Administration to do more to help Ukraine.

DUBLIN — East Bay Congressman Eric Swalwell is urging the Biden Administration to do more to help Ukraine. He just returned from visiting with refugees near the Ukrainian border.

Swalwell witnessed the humanitarian crisis as he greeted a trainload of Ukrainian refugees pulling into the Hungary bordertown of Zahony. The Zahony trip was part of a five-day visit to Eastern Europe. Swalwell led a group of bi-partisan lawmakers from the House Intelligence Committee. They wanted to show their support for the refugees and volunteers.

While Hungary has done a good job of providing humanitarian relief, Swalwell and fellow lawmakers say they also went there to urge the Hungarian government to provide military aid.
