Russia’s launch of a premeditated war against the sovereign nation of Ukraine is an attack on democracy and a violation of international law, global peace and security. Putin’s unprovoked actions will cause devastating loss of life and a diminishing of Russia in the world order.
The leadership of President Biden and our allies to demonstrate overwhelming resolve is crucial in this moment of heartbreak and suffering for the Ukrainian people. We are united with strength and coordination in our commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The response of America and our allies will be severe, ongoing and devastating for Russia, economically, diplomatically, and strategically. @POTUS has made clear throughout Russia’s escalation we will continue to impose costs on Russia that will leave it weakened in every way.
Congress is closely monitoring the situation, including with a briefing from the Administration today and with a classified in-person briefing next week. The U.S. Congress joins President Biden and all Americans in praying for the Ukrainian people. speaker.gov/newsroom/22422
