                      RUSSIA'S ASSAULT ON UKRAINE

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, Russia's assault on Ukrainian freedom and 
democracy is an assault on freedom and democracy everywhere. That is 
why America and our allies are linking arms and engaging in 
unprecedented cooperation. President Biden has marshalled the world to 
impose severe consequences on Putin and the Russian economy.
  Because of these crippling sanctions, Russia now stands at the 
precipice of a punishing financial crisis. American troops, many from 
Fort Bragg and elsewhere in North Carolina, are already in NATO 
countries in Eastern Europe, and more are on their way.
  The international community is also sending support to countries 
neighboring Ukraine, including North Carolina's close partner, Moldova. 
As we continue to work on a robust new aid package, the prayers and 
admiration of the people of my district are with the brave Ukrainian 
freedom fighters risking their lives to defend their homeland.
