                       HOPE FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE

  (Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise to hope for peace in Ukraine.
  Estimates vary, but perhaps over 20,000 people have died in this war 
already.
  Recently, both President Biden and Senator Graham have weighed in on 
what they feel should happen to Vladimir Putin. Obviously, their 
language could delay the end of the war and heighten tensions at the 
peace talks.
  Have they cleared their comments with the Ukrainian people, who lose 
more people every day the war goes on?
  Both President Biden and Senator Graham got press from these remarks, 
and some politicians just care about that.
  I encourage all Senators and the President of the United States to 
remember that they are in the big leagues now, and their careless 
remarks to get a little bit more press can cost Ukrainian and Russian 
lives.
