President Obama on Monday told reporters that the United States would think about sending weapons to Ukraine if diplomacy fails. European leaders are hoping for a cease-fire meanwhile. Other U.S. politicians have called for arming Ukraine such as Senator Ted Cruz according to FOX News.

“When it comes to Russia and Ukraine, the path we're on doesn't make any sense,” Cruz, R-Texas, told ABC’s “This Week” while at the Munich Security Conference. “We need to be providing defensive arms to the people of Ukraine.”

He was in Germany as part of a bipartisan congressional delegation attending the conference that also met with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

“We have a treaty obligation to stand with them,” Cruz said. “And right now, unfortunately, the Obama administration is not honoring that obligation. We need to come together and provide defensive arms so that [Ukraine] can stand up against this Russian aggression.”

Should the U.S. do more to arm Ukraine?
