Senator Paul discusses Russia-Ukraine situation, inflation

U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Bowling Green believes the United States and Europe should make it clear to Russia that there would be severe economic consequences for Russia if they were to invade Ukraine.

He says countries in the European Union may have more leverage with Russia, including Germany, which could cut off a major natural gas pipeline.

Senator Paul says President Biden and other leaders should speak clearly on what the consequences to a Russian invasion of Ukraine would be.

The Republican senator says he continues to hear from constituents concerned about rising costs from inflation and he believes responsible spending with a balanced budget is the answer.
