                                UKRAINE

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in solidarity with the people of 
Ukraine who are under horrific siege. Ukraine's valorous President 
Volodymyr Zelensky and the courageous Ukrainian forces and its people 
are defending their homeland in what truly is a battle of David versus 
Goliath.
  Putin is unleashing hell on Earth through cluster bombs and vacuum 
bombs on innocent civilians targeting women, children, and the elderly, 
and striking hospitals and orphanages in a murderous rampage.
  This is the work of war criminals. But more war is not the answer. 
The top leaders of every nation in our world--not just their 
ambassadors but every leader of every nation--this week must create an 
historic surge of diplomacy to engage with Vladimir Putin to end this 
massacre.
  Work it out. Work it out.
  Please stop the killing. Stop the fear. Stop the massacre. Build 
forward. Invite Vladimir Putin toward a new world of peace and 
opportunity for all in that damaged and struggling part of our 
beleaguered world.
