Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight outraged over the systemic slaughter of Ukrainian children by Russian murderer Vladimir Putin.

Countless Ukrainian children are being murdered and orphaned. An entire generation is watching as everything around them is destroyed by Russia's war machine.

Fathers and mothers are being ripped from sons and daughters. The littlest are being left to fend for themselves, as Russia lays waste to everything Ukrainians have ever known.

No little child should be left to weep next to the unmarked grave of their parent that they will never see again.

No child should have to ponder how they will eat or where they will sleep due to the actions of a tyrant who derives satisfaction from their despair.

We have a global responsibility to end this bloodshed. Fully arm Ukraine now. Isolate Russia from the community of responsible nations. Starve Putin and his oligarchs. Make sure that we help Ukraine withstand all that they must in order to win this war against Russia's killing machine. Let all democratic nations do everything they can to assure liberty in Ukraine is victorious.
