Larson Statement on President Zelenskyy's Address

Statement

Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement after attending President Zelenskyy's address to Congress this morning.

"President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people have inspired people throughout the world with their bravery in the face of an unprovoked and heinous invasion. Today, the United States Congress heard directly from him about the heart-wrenching humanitarian toll of Putin's war. We must do everything we can to help Ukraine. Since the beginning of this conflict, I have pushed for refugee assistance, banning Russian oil and gas, supplying the Ukrainian Air Force with fighter jets, increasing sanctions, and banning all Russian government officials and oligarchs from setting foot on US soil. We will defund the Russian war machine, and we will continue to supply the Ukrainian defense. I commend President Biden for his leadership in uniting the rest of the world against Putin and will continue to work with him and my colleagues in Congress to support Ukraine," said Larson.
