                          SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE

  (Mr. LaTURNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaTURNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the brave men and 
women across Ukraine fighting for their freedom and standing strong 
against Vladimir Putin and his gang of thugs. As our adversaries look 
on, it is time our Nation's leaders step up on the world stage and 
restore peace through American strength and power.
  Make no mistake. This unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is an attack on 
democracy, and Russia must be held accountable for their actions. The 
United States must immediately impose additional crippling economic 
sanctions against Putin and provide further military and humanitarian 
aid to the Ukraine fighting forces.
  Most importantly, it is vital that we end our Nation's reliance on 
Russia's energy industry by unleashing domestic energy production right 
here in the United States. Energy security is national security.
  I continue to be inspired by the countless acts of bravery and 
leadership by President Zelensky and his people as they fight for their 
freedom and independence. May God give strength and comfort to the 
people of Ukraine.
