EXCLUSIVE: Former New York Gov. George Pataki talks fourth Ukraine trip amid Russian war

EXCLUSIVE — Former New York Gov. George Pataki embarked on his fourth humanitarian aid trip to Ukraine this week, telling the Washington Examiner,"We're fighting the war for everyone who believes in freedom and democracy," referring to the country's conflict with Russia.

"This is our fight, and we have to stand with Ukraine and help them to win this war because the world is looking," he emphasized. Pataki warned that nations such as China and Iran are watching this conflict play out."Is America going to do what we did in Afghanistan, which is help and, finally, at the end, just turn the other way?"

"We have not seen one nickel of U.S. humanitarian aid anywhere in Ukraine," he explained."We just don't see that any of those billions of appropriations that Congress may have gotten to Ukraine. So, I think it's very appropriate to do a very detailed investigation and accounting to make sure that the funds that actually [happened to be appropriated] are actually getting where they're supposed to be going.

On his trips to the country, he is focused on providing basic necessities to citizens struggling in Ukraine. However, he also wants to bring some joy into the lives of Ukrainians. In an effort to do this, Pataki helped deliver hundreds of footballs to displaced children and orphans in Ukraine on Friday. The footballs were donated by the NFL as well as college- and high school-level teams in the U.S.
