                          REMEMBERING UKRAINE

  (Ms. DEAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, it has been 5 weeks since Vladimir Putin 
launched his assault on Ukraine and its people; a relentless churn of 
cruelty, of war crimes, crimes against humanity.
  More than 4 million people have fled Ukraine, but tragically, not 
everyone has found refuge. More than 1,000 civilians have been 
murdered, and that number grows.
  On Monday, there were more than 40 shellings by Russian troops in and 
around Kyiv, destroying homes, and in one case, killing a child in his 
own bed.
  The children. There have been 145 children known dead, a likely 
horrifying undercount. Innocent children, unarmed civilians. The horror 
continues.
  We must continue to support Ukraine and provide all necessary aid. We 
must not lose sight of the people.
  Pennsylvania is home to more than 122,000 Ukrainians, the second most 
of any State, and my district is home to a dynamic Ukrainian-American 
community, many with family in Ukraine.
  I think of them. I think of Ukraine every day. The world must stand 
united to end this series of war crimes.
  ``Glory to Ukraine.'' ``Slava Ukraini.''
  ``Glory to the heroes.'' ``Slava heroyam.''
