Congressman John Rose took to the House floor to deliver a floor speech on Ukraine.
The full speech, as prepared for delivery, is below:
I rise to express my support for the people of Ukraine as they fight for their sovereignty.
An American ally is under attack, and they need our support. Sanctioning the Russian economy is not enough. The Ukrainian government has requested lethal aid for months now, and we must deliver it without further delay. We must also end our purchases of nearly 538 thousand barrels of oil from Russia and make America energy independent again.
After four years of peace and prosperity, it only took President Biden 400 days to unravel it all. President Biden’s weakness on the world stage has emboldened our enemies and created a vacuum that Vladimir Putin is delighted to fill.
President Biden has demonstrated the inability to lead, whether it be the botched Afghanistan withdrawal or our own invasion at our southern border.
I can’t help but think about what might come next. As Iran strives to produce nuclear weapons and China may look towards Taiwan to mimic Russia, the world was a much safer place only a little over a year ago.
I am proud to stand with President Zelenskyy and the people of Ukraine, who are courageously fighting against power-hungry dictator Vladimir Putin.
So much tragedy and loss could have been avoided in Ukraine if we had any real leadership in the White House.
