PUTIN AGGRESSION CATASTROPHIC TO RUSSIA
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, Putin continues threatening military aggression against Ukraine, now over 100,000 troops, which would only enrich Putin cronies and oligarchs, and which would be catastrophic for the people of Russia. A Putin invasion would result in needless and horrific loss of both Ukrainian and Russian lives.
Having returned from a recent delegation to Kyiv, I saw firsthand the courage of the people of Ukraine for independence.
Putin should know that both parties in America are united in support of the Ukrainian people. NATO is also unified as Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised today.
I am grateful that Biden has changed course to reinforce the Trump policies of sending defensive weapons to Ukraine.
Putin aggression against Ukraine must be deterred for the benefit of the people of Russia and the people of Ukraine.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, who successfully protected America for 20 years, as the global war on terrorism continues moving from a safe haven in Afghanistan to America.
