                                    UKRAINE

      (Mr. DOGGETT asked and was given permission to address the House for
    1 minute.)
      Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, Putin and Trump: a dictator and a wannabe,
    and another destroyed Ukrainian city. Thousands have been murdered and
    thousands of children have been kidnapped. Trump disgracefully voted
    yesterday with North Korea and Russia to blame the murdered, not the
    murderer.
      Trump is joining a rogues' gallery of lesser dictators to deny
    Putin's murderous invasion, his war crimes, and a demand that he return
    occupied Ukrainian territory. Trump, ``the great appeaser,'' is joined
    in this appalling wrong by House Republican accomplices.
      While Ukrainians dodge bullets and missiles and are risking death
    daily, most of the House Republicans seem scared into silence by the
    threat of a very mean Trump tweet. By its silence, this Republican
    white flag surrender caucus is emboldening our adversaries to replace
    the world order established by both Democratic and Republican leaders
    since World War II.
      If we fail Ukraine, our democratic ally, we fail the rule of law.
    Let's unite to resist the appeasement of Putin and seek a victory for
    self-determination, democracy, and freedom.
      The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from
    engaging in personalities toward the President.
