Quigley, Kaptur, Fitzpatrick Statement on Continued Commitment to Ukraine

Today, U.S. Representatives Mike Quigley (D-IL), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Co-Chairs of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, released the following statement on Congress's ongoing support for Ukraine:

"We have been unwavering in our support for Ukraine in the face of Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion. Ukraine is an independent nation with the right to both territorial integrity and self-determination. Neither the United States nor any other nation can dictate when or how Ukraine ends their war against Russian invaders.

"Vladimir Putin has used indiscriminate shelling of civilians and the threat of nuclear war to try to diminish western support for Ukraine. We cannot allow him to succeed. If Putin believes that the support of the United States and global allies is contingent on Russia's demands, we can be confident that other autocratic leaders will use these same tactics in the future.

"It is critical that Congress, President Biden, NATO, and all freedom-loving people remain committed to Ukraine and Ukrainian independence."
