WASHINGTON (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) spoke with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation Sunday about the ongoing war in Ukraine. European and NATO leaders announced Sunday they'll be joining President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington for crucial talks with President Donald Trump, rallying around the Ukrainian leader after his exclusion from President Trump's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The remarkable move, with one European leader after another announcing they'll be at Zelenskyy's side when he travels to the White House on Monday, was an apparent effort to ensure that the meeting goes better than the last one in February, when Trump berated the Ukrainian president in a heated Oval Office encounter.

When asked, in hindsight, if he thinks the United States "to date has been too hesitant to actually help Ukraine win this war," Congressman Crow said:

"There's no doubt...I was one of the members of Congress that, on a bipartisan basis, pushed really hard in the first two years of this war, under the Biden administration, to do more, to do more quicker. And I was concerned that we were doing just enough to prevent Ukraine from losing and not doing enough to help them win. And I do believe that had we done more, and we had done it faster, and that we were willing to be more aggressive in providing aid and support for Ukraine, then they would be in a different position on the battlefield today. But compare that to what this administration has done, which has relieved almost all pressure. Like look at what happened on Friday. U.S. military personnel in uniform, literally, were on their hands and knees, rolling out a red carpet for the most murderous dictator of the 21st century. Somebody who has kidnapped and is holding prisoner tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Somebody who started this whole war, right? This both-sides-ism that the administration is engaging in, that both sides need to come to the table and negotiate. Ukraine is the victim. They are the victim. They didn't start this war. Russia did.

2. Ukrainians had the gall to overthrow Putin's hand-picked puppet Yanukovich.

How dare they want to escape Moscow's malign influence?
