"I'm telling you, (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and (Chinese President) Xi (Jinping) are salivating at the thought that someone like that could become president," Haley said.
She mentioned the Ukrainians who died as a result of the Russian invasion, and stressed that the United States should not give Kyiv cash, but provide equipment and ammunition for victory.
When asked about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's call for U.S. aid, Ramaswamy absurdly accused Zelenskyy of "Nazism" – a stereotypical Kremlin propaganda trope.
