Urges Congressional leaders to stand by Ukraine
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began just over two years ago, and the devastating war that has followed has been a catastrophe for Ukrainians and Russians alike. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians have been killed, tens of thousands more have been wounded and maimed, and an almost incomprehensible level of destruction has occurred across much of Ukraine and parts of Russia.
While the immense human and material toll of the war cannot be undone, the fate of democracy, freedom and the overall peace of the world still hangs in the balance as Ukraine continues to resist Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion.
The hard-right members of Congress and Donald Trump have now tipped this balance against peace and freedom. They have totally abandoned the Reagan-era commitment to global leadership in favor of placating dictators and rewarding violence and aggression.
