Need to Pass Support for Ukraine

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, this House is in danger of helping Vladimir Putin take over Ukraine and attack other countries in Europe.

We have supported Ukraine in their two-year battle against Russia to remain a democratic country and a sovereign nation. They need our help. They need our arms.

The Senate passed, in a bipartisan manner, a bill to help Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, as well as humanitarian aid in Gaza and Ukraine for victims of war. We need to pass that, but Donald Trump doesn't want it on the floor, and the Speaker of the House will not put it on the floor for a vote, meaning there will be attacks on Ukrainians and carnage unknown.

It occurred when Russia first tried to get to Kyiv and went into Ukraine, and they raped, and they murdered, and they pillaged. We must stand with our friends in Ukraine, support their fight for freedom, or we will have to fight as part of NATO to defend Europe.
