H.R. McMaster, who served as former President Trump's national security adviser, said on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin "got a lot more than he bargained for" when he invaded Ukraine last week.
Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," McMaster said Ukrainian forces have done a "tremendous" job.
"I think Putin got a lot more than he bargained for. He's in a very difficult position," McMaster told host Margaret Brennan. "And I think anything we can do obviously financially - going after his international criminal enterprise with sanctions and so forth - is important. But the support for Ukraine's ability to defend themselves is also important."
McMaster added that Putin had failed to understand that Ukraine is not an autocratic regime where a political decapitation would be effective.
