In an attempt to call Donald Trump's foreign policy knowledge into question last week, Ted Cruz opened himself up to his own criticism, by saying the United States hung Ukraine out to dry during the 2014 Russian incursion.
"The United States of America came in and said if you hand over those nuclear weapons we will ensure your territorial integrity from Russia," Cruz said.

"Ted Cruz just has history wrong," Politifact's Aaron Sharockman said. "The US agreed to recognize Ukraine and recognize its borders but it never said it would go to all costs to defend Ukraine should its borders be jeopardized by Russia or anyone else."
Politifact rating Ted Cruz's claim as... FALSE.
