Blunt Rochester Statement on Russian Invasion of Ukraine
WILMINGTON, Del. ,
February 24, 2022
Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) issued the following statement on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “My heart breaks for the people of Ukraine, today. In a brazen violation of international law, President Putin has launched an unprecedented full-scale invasion of a sovereign democratic country. I cannot stress strongly enough the danger this invasion poses both to the Ukrainian people and to our international order and I support the actions of the Biden Administration to hold President Putin and Russia accountable. Through both the tools we have at our disposal as the United States government, and with our NATO allies, we must send a clear signal to Putin that these flagrant acts of war will not be tolerated. Congress must now work to swiftly pass a broad and comprehensive set of sanctions against Russia to deter further Russian aggression. I pray for the people of Ukraine and stand firmly with them.”
