Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and U.S. Sen. John Boozman expressed their support Friday for Ukraine and its citizens as Russia continues a military invasion of the sovereign eastern European nation.

During his weekly press conference, Hutchinson said the U.S. needs to enact severe sanctions on Russia and suggested President Joe Biden hasn’t acted as quickly as he would like.

“We don’t need to hold anything back right now, we need to give the full weight of our sanctions now,” Hutchinson said.
