Congressman Dan Kildee, Chief Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus, issued the following statement after Russia’s attack and invasion of Ukraine:
“Russia’s declaration of war on Ukraine, an independent and democratic nation, threatens peace and stability in Europe and around the globe. America stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, who are the victims of this unprovoked attack.
“Working with President Biden, Congress must immediately pass crippling and sustained sanctions to punish Russia for its actions. There must be severe consequences for Vladimir Putin and the Russian government for its illegal invasion of a sovereign country.
“Working with the European Union and our allies, the United States must work to strengthen NATO to deter and defend against further Russian aggression. The world must stand together and react swiftly to hold Russia accountable.”
