US Senator Marco Rubio, Vice Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, tweeted out: “#Russia is moving to quickly choke off supplies to #Kyiv by sealing off the western part of the city Remember all the material being sent to #Ukraine has to come across the border and from the western part of the country.”

“No matter what happens #Putin loses His economy is melting down His military will continue to suffer historic losses And he will either be drained by a long protracted & costly occupation or leave behind a puppet government #Ukraine will overthrow,” Rubio tweeted earlier on.
