Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to applaud Rep. McCaul's Ukraine Invasion War Crimes Deterrence and Accountability Act.

History has taught us that evidence must be safeguarded in order to hold tyrants to account.

Putin and his enablers will gaslight the world until Kingdom Come-- but the world and our progeny must know the truth.

As Ukraine's civilians and defenders continue their valiant fight against the beast--we must be ready to prosecute those who murdered innocents and pillaged a sovereign land.

Putin's war is not an act of defense. It is a calculated and brutal slaughter of ordinary people who sought only to build up their precious democracy.

Putin has shed any semblance of humanity. He is a monster with the blood of freedom-loving people on his hands.

When justice comes, let us be prepared with all that we need to sentence these evildoers to the punishments they deserve.
