                          PUTIN'S MASS MURDER

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 5, 2022

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, the civilized world is 
shocked at the discovery of mass murder by Putin in Bucha, Ukraine. It 
is inspiring the leadership of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the 
immediate responses by Germany to Italy for expelling Putin's murder-
complicit diplomats.
  With innocent civilians discovered having their hands tied behind 
their backs, shot in the head, it is clear, war criminal Putin must be 
stopped with immediate military aid. Biden is correct to recognize this 
as part of the worldwide conflict of democracy with rule of law versus 
autocracy with rule of gun.
  An undisputed atrocity is the Putin detention of Mayor Olga Sukhenko 
of Motyzhyn (Ma-ta-jhin), her husband, Igor and her son, Alexander. 
Later, they were discovered murdered mercilessly in a shallow grave.
  I have faith in the Russian people with a great culture betrayed by 
the war criminal, Putin. There is legislation for defecting Russian 
troops, diplomats, and Duma members to be provided expedited refugee 
status to America and up to $100,000 for any Russian military equipment 
turned over to Ukraine. Ukraine will achieve victory.
  God bless Ukraine. God save Ukraine. Long live Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
  Congratulations to Mayor Dan Rickenmann and the city of Columbia for 
sending aid to Ukraine.
