US intelligence officials make case for "urgent" military aid to Ukraine

Leaders of U.S. intelligence agencies urgently pressed members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday to approve additional military assistance for Ukraine, saying it would not only boost Kyiv as it fights Russia but discourage Chinese aggression.

"That has consequences for American interests that go ... directly to our interests in the Indo-Pacific," CIA Director Williams Burns told the House of Representatives' Intelligence committee's annual hearing on Worldwide Threats to U.S. security.
