                           FAILING WAR CRIMINAL PUTIN

      (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
    address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
      Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I attended the Munich
    Security Conference last week where Danish Prime Minister Mette
    Frederiksen correctly identified the Ukrainian war as the Russian war
    in Ukraine.
      In maniacal, murderous efforts to resurrect the failed Soviet Union,
    war criminal Putin has oppressed the people of Russia, invaded Ukraine,
    maintained occupation of Moldovan Transnistria, invaded Ukrainian
    Crimea, seized South Ossetia and Abkhazia of Georgia, and rigged the
    Georgian Parliamentary election, which was won by the courageous Salome
    Zourabichvili. He virtually annexed Belarus by rigging a Presidential
    election won by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and then invaded Ukraine
    twice, where Ukraine, successfully armed with Javelin missiles by
    President Donald Trump, has resisted.
      Desperate war criminal Putin has confirmed his failing attempt to
    resurrect the failed Soviet Union, threatening the Baltic Republics and
    even Poland.
      In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism
    continues. Open borders for dictators put all Americans at risk of more
    9/11 attacks imminent, as warned by the FBI. President Trump is
    reinstituting existing laws to protect American families with peace
    through strength.
      Our sympathy to the family of the legendary Roberta Flack, who will
    always be cherished for her loving connection to the American people.
