                       VISIT TO WAR-TORN UKRAINE

fighting on the front line, a Ukrainian soldier's leg was blown off.

must not ignore their urgent plea for assistance to finish the fight.

us, including Putin's. Ukrainians are fighting tirelessly on the front 
lines, not just for their nation, but for democracy.
  Mr. Speaker, in the face of these threats, the time to act is now.
