On Foreign Policy: Support for Ukraine critical for our national security

[Comparing candidate stances on Russia-Ukraine war]: As West Virginia's incumbent governor, Jim Justice requested $5 million from the state legislature in 2022 to aid Ukraine during the initial days of the war, which he said would support a maternity and children's hospital in that country. Justice also donated several armored personnel carriers from the West Virginia National Guard to Ukraine and directed state law enforcement agencies to send their surplus bulletproof vests to the country.

Similarly, Glenn Elliott, the mayor of has taken a strong position in favor of Ukraine. He supports more U.S. military and financial aid to the country. "I do believe that supporting Ukraine financially and militarily in their war against [Russia President Vladimir] Putin's dangerous authoritarianism is critical for our national security interests. We must support Ukraine's efforts now as a broader effort to protect other European nation's sovereignty."
