Ukraine has “no chance” of defeating Russia, Sen. Tommy Tuberville said Monday, comparing the war to “a junior high team playing a college team.”

Tuberville made the comments while explaining to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham why he is against sending more monetary aid to Ukraine. Ingraham pointed to a CNN poll showing 54 percent of Americans are against additional Ukraine aid.

Tuberville made the comments while explaining to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham why he is against sending more monetary aid to Ukraine. He cautioned that he supports Ukraine’s right to defend itself despite opposing aid.
