                     SAVING THE CHILDREN OF UKRAINE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 21, 2026

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the full-scale, murderous 
attacks on Ukrainian civilians by war criminal Putin have continued 
since February 2022. Many thousands of civilians have been mercilessly 
killed, including children.
  It is inspiring there is an effort to protect these innocent children 
``sounding off.''
  The Sound of Life is a humanitarian awareness campaign launched by 
Trident Group Ukraine with the support of Ambassador Olha Stefanishyna 
of the Embassy of Ukraine to the United States.
   In Ukraine, parents place whistles around the necks of their 
children before bedtime--so rescuers can find them if their homes 
collapse under missile strikes.
  What should be a toy has become a lifeline. After the missiles, the 
greatest danger is silence or an inability to rescue survivors.
  Continued American support is essential. Air defense saves lives by 
stopping missiles and drones before they reach targeted homes, schools, 
churches, and hospitals.
  Courageous Ukrainians will be victorious for sovereignty, defeating 
war criminal Putin.
  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 on civilians across Ukraine.
