John McCain is ashamed of America’s help (or lack thereof) given to Ukraine in their fight against Russian-backed separatists.

“I’m ashamed of my country, I’m ashamed of my president and ashamed of myself that I haven’t done more to help these people,” McCain told “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer.
