                        100 DAYS OF PUTIN'S WAR

  (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. Madam Speaker, last week marked 100 
tragic days since war criminal Putin's war of mass murder against the 
sovereign country of Ukraine. Putin's merciless killing continues to 
horrify the world, while the heroic fight by President Volodymyr 
Zelenskyy and the brave Ukrainians continue to draw inspiration.
  Ukrainians are front line in the global conflict of democracy's rule 
of law, opposed by authoritarian's rule of gun.
  I was grateful to be in Lithuania last week meeting with members of 
the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. Led by its president, Gerry Connolly, 
the bipartisan delegation welcomed Finland and Sweden into NATO, which 
Putin has unintentionally unified for victory in Ukraine.
  Putin is sacrificing Russian troops for his personal gain of oil, 
money, and power. Ever resolute, President Zelenskyy has said, ``We 
have defended Ukraine for 100 days already. Victory will be ours.''
  America and the world support Ukraine in its efforts to protect its 
citizens and defeat evil.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops who have successfully protected 
America for 20 years in the global war on terrorism as it continues 
moving from the Afghanistan safe haven to America.
