RELEASE: Rep. Hill Statement on Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
LITTLE ROCK, AR,
February 24, 2022
Rep. French Hill (AR-02) today issued the following statement regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “I strongly condemn the hostile actions taken over the last few hours by Vladimir Putin. Make no mistake, his step is definitive and makes clear his desire to reorient the world order, however Putin’s folly will not go unanswered by the international community. My prayers are for resolve and safety for the Ukrainian people as this dark chapter begins. “As I committed to Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova during our recent meeting, the United States will stand with those who abide by peace and cooperation, and we will continue to support the people of Ukraine as they seek to defend their democracy-loving nation. “As I have called for repeatedly, I urge President Biden to deliver further sanctions that are swift and far-reaching, and halt Russia’s ability to engage on the international stage. The days of the United States’ permissive posture toward Russia need to end.” |
