                    HELP UKRAINE ACHIEVE VICTORY NOW

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, The Wall Street 
Journal editorialized: ``Let Ukraine Go on Offense Against Russia.''
  ``As Russia's war on Ukraine enters its sixth week, the script has 
flipped. Russia's advance has stalled, and Ukraine now wants to go on 
offense to push back Russian forces from the land they have taken. But 
the country needs U.S. and NATO help to do it.''
  ``Now is the time to help Ukraine take the offensive. Reports of 
demoralized Russian forces are more frequent, including defectors who 
have taken equipment with them.''
  ``Throughout this conflict, the Biden administration has been slow. . 
. . `' Now ``is the time to keep the pressure on to truly achieve a 
strategic victory for Ukraine and NATO.''
  I have faith in the Russian people, a great culture betrayed by war 
criminal Putin. There is legislation for defecting Russian troops, 
diplomats, and Duma members to be provided immediate refugee status in 
America and up to $100,000 for any Russian military equipment turned 
over to Ukraine.
  God bless Ukraine, God save Ukraine, and long live Volodymyr 
Zelenskyy.
