Today, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) issued the following statement after helping pass a resolution supporting the people of Ukraine and calling for Putin to be held accountable for his invasion of Ukraine:
"As Russia pursues its premeditated and unjustified invasion of Ukraine, the United States must continue to stand steadfast with the Ukrainian people and our allies against this senseless violation of international law. This resolution makes clear that we will not allow Putin's decision to invade a democratic country to go unpunished. I continue to urge the Biden Administration to back up our words with the strongest possible action and use every tool available to weaken Putin and his regime and support Ukraine."
Background:
Today, Pappas also helped introduce a bipartisan resolution calling on the International Criminal Court to immediately prosecute Vladimir Putin for war crimes should anything happen to Ukrainian President Zelenksyy, in light of reports of Russian assassination squads targeting the Ukrainian President and Putin's track record of poisoning dissidents and Russian enemies.
Pappas repeatedly called for sanctions against Russia should Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine and urged unity among NATO allies in standing against Vladimir Putin; and has called for President Biden to take all measures necessary to ensure that Vladimir Putin's premeditated, illegal invasion of Ukraine does not derail the momentum of the U.S. economy's recovery.
