                  WAR CRIMINAL PUTIN SHOULD APOLOGIZE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 11, 2026

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, war criminal Putin should 
apologize for his January 29th, 2026 phone call pledge to President 
Donald Trump to avoid destroying utilities in Ukraine, while Putin 
accelerates attacks to freeze Ukrainians, as Stalin starved Ukrainians.
  Putin should apologize to courageous First Lady Melania Trump for 
keeping kidnapped Ukrainian children to `Putinize' them, as Hitler 
kidnapped Polish children to Germany.
  Putin should apologize to Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner 
for endless meetings in Moscow, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Miami, Vienna, and New 
York as Putin re-stocks Iranian drones, Chinese Communist Party 
missiles, and North Korean troops.
  The war continues as dictators with rule of gun invade democracies 
with rule of law--February 24, 2022 into Ukraine; and October 7, 2023 
into Israel.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Trump is reinstituting peace through strength, revealing war 
criminal Putin lies, insulting Trump and mocking Trump with murderous 
attacks this week in Ukraine, freezing civilians to death with no 
electricity, heat, or water.
