The Ukrainian people have shown immense resilience in the face of Russia’s unprovoked aggression. Ukraine did not invade Russia, Russia started this war.
While I support efforts to pursue a diplomatic resolution to this war, we must ensure that any peace is built on strength, not concession. Ukraine is a sovereign nation fighting for its survival, and the United States must continue to stand for freedom, security, and the defense of democracy. I remain committed to supporting Ukraine and ensuring that Putin, a dictator and a war criminal, does not walk away with a victory.
