Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, the unspeakable carnage Vladimir Putin and his war machine are unleashing across Ukraine is barbaric.

The images from Bucha are almost too horrific to comprehend. Men, women, children, and the elderly are bound and thrown on the streets as if they were garbage. The world is dealing with a tyrant who counts victory with body bags.

Every nation must arm Ukraine with the weaponry and defenses it needs. Every nation must end their imports of Russian coal, oil, and gas. Every nation must twist the screws of sanctions tighter and tighter until Putin and his enablers choke.

The hundreds of thousands of American and Allied servicemembers who gave their lives across European nations in the 20th century did not do so only for the cause of liberty to go unaided in the modern era.

The free world must immediately rise up together. Fend off evil. End the bloodshed. Lead Ukraine to restore its liberty.
