SUPPORTING UKRAINE
(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, in February, war
criminal Putin launched his illegal invasion of sovereign Ukraine.
His cowardly acts have resulted in the murder of thousands of
Ukrainian citizens, the torture of countless others, and the
destruction of civilian infrastructure. Putin sacrifices young Russians
for his personal gain of oil, money, and power.
The world witnesses the daily atrocities of war criminal Putin and
continues to be shocked. Congress has provided bipartisan support for
President Vladimir Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people through sanctions
against Putin and his corrupt cronies.
A recent Wall Street Journal poll is significant and shows the
majority of Americans continue their compassionate desire to assist the
heroic people of Ukraine in victory.
America must not waver in support of victory for Ukraine over war
criminal Putin and thus also help deter other would-be global invaders,
such as the Chinese Communist Party against Taiwan and Iran against
Israel with ICBMs against America.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
