                 ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ATTACK ON UKRAINE

  (Ms. SHERRILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. SHERRILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the strength of 
the Ukrainian people after enduring 1 year of merciless attacks by 
Russian forces.
  The following is from a record entry on Friday that marked the 1-year 
anniversary:
  When Putin ordered his tanks and forces into regions like Mariupol 
and Kharkiv, he thought Ukraine would fall in a matter of days. Instead 
of an easy victory, Putin's war of aggression has been a dismal 
failure.
  The people of Ukraine refused to be forced into an authoritarian 
state where any opposition is met with jail, torture, or murder. They 
are prepared to pay the ultimate price for their freedom.
  NATO is now more unified than ever in providing military, economic, 
and humanitarian assistance to support Ukraine's right to sovereignty.
  Since the invasion, the United States has provided unprecedented 
support and coordination, which has helped the Ukrainian military make 
exponential gains.
  Picatinny Arsenal in my congressional district has been integral to 
Ukraine's military success. They have developed the primary cannon 
being used by the Ukrainian army and continue to be responsible for 
every piece of ammunition being sent by the United States to Ukraine. I 
remain committed to protecting the fundamental values of peace, 
prosperity, and stability across the globe and in Ukraine.
