  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, The Washington Post lead 
editorial on March 10 confirmed the murderous invasion of Ukraine by 
war criminal Putin demands Western support of Ukraine as `` . . . 
President Biden will be tested and judged by his own success in making 
a similar case for this country to step up by applying its military and 
industrial might.''
  Sadly, there ``is a gap between the West's supportive rhetoric on 
equipping Ukraine . . . and the pace of actual deliveries of arms and 
ammunition.''
  ``It's critical that the administration perceive those interests 
clearly and explain them compellingly. . . .
  `` . . . for our European allies' security but also to maintain a 
basic principle of civilized international relations: that one state 
cannot invade and subjugate another. . . . It is also crucial to 
transmit the message to China, North Korea and other would-be 
aggressors that the United States will stand fast in defense. . . . `'
  In conclusion, it is clear ``President Biden will be tested and 
judged'' by his decisions to support the courageous people of Ukraine.
  Thank you, Prince William, heir to the British throne, for visiting 
the British troops in Poland training Ukrainians for freedom. President 
Andrzej Duda is the courageous President of Poland.
