BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

“Putin’s cruelty and cynicism were on full display when he decided that he would invade Ukraine and bring it back into the Soviet orbit. He tried to silence anyone in Russia who might dissent from his strategy, including reporting on any Russians who might have the audacity to suggest there should be democracy or freedom in their country, which is why Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is in jail. By introducing this resolution, we’re yet again bringing to light the cruelty of the Russian government. As fellow Americans, we demand the release of all American citizens who face arbitrary arrests by the Russian government.”
