NEED TO PASS SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE
(Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, this House is in danger of helping Vladimir
Putin take over Ukraine and attack other countries in Europe.
We have supported Ukraine in their two-year battle against Russia to
remain a democratic country and a sovereign nation. They need our help.
They need our arms.
The Senate passed, in a bipartisan manner, a bill to help Ukraine,
Israel, and Taiwan, as well as humanitarian aid in Gaza and Ukraine for
victims of war. We need to pass that, but Donald Trump doesn't want it
on the floor, and the Speaker of the House will not put it on the floor
for a vote, meaning there will be attacks on Ukrainians and carnage
unknown.
It occurred when Russia first tried to get to Kyiv and went into
Ukraine, and they raped, and they murdered, and they pillaged. We must
stand with our friends in Ukraine, support their fight for freedom, or
we will have to fight as part of NATO to defend Europe.
