Congressmen Joe Wilson and Seth Moulton issued a joint statement in support of Ukraine\u2019s independence, while condemning Russia\u2019s aggressive behavior at their common border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaving returned from Ukraine last week, on a bipartisan delegation, we remain deeply concerned by Russia\u2019s confrontational buildup of its military in and around the country. The support for Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty and territorial integrity in the U.S. Congress is unwavering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe stand ready to work with the Administration and our transatlantic partners to deter further Russian aggression against Ukraine, including by imposing new, crippling sanctions on Russia should it continue its invasion into Ukraine. As tens of thousands of Russian troops assemble on Ukraine\u2019s border, we support the accelerated distribution of additional lethal and nonlethal military equipment to Ukraine and remain steadfast in our commitment to the security of our NATO allies, especially those in Eastern Europe that face the threat posed by Putin\u2019s Russia every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRussia is the aggressor in its attempts to undermine European security, not Ukraine or NATO. In response to Russia\u2019s threatening actions, there can be no concessions made at the expense of Ukraine or NATO\u2019s posture on the eastern flank for Putin\u2019s regime.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
