Mr. Speaker, Claims · 83 wordsPresident Volodymyr Zelenskyy established July 15 as Statehood Day for Ukraine, ¹but we spend another year on this day wondering when the Ukrainian people will be able to celebrate without threats from Russia. The length of the war in Ukraine has recently surpassed World War I, ²and it is an outrage that Ukraine has been forced to incur staggering casualties and defend its territory against a relentless dictator. Families are being torn apart, and fear is a part of everyday life for Ukrainians. Reasoning · 35 wordsWe have a duty to support nations that are aiming to support life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for their citizens. That is why I firmly reassert the need to continue funding Ukraine’s defense. Greeting · 29 wordsFrom the floor of the House of Representatives, I extend my regards to our Ukrainian friends and allies. May they soon honor their statehood during a time of peace.Greeting
