SUPPORTING UKRAINE

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 82 (Thursday, May 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 82 (Thursday, May 14, 2026)] [House] [Page H3469] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] SUPPORTING UKRAINE (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the gentleman from California (Mr. Kiley) added the 218th signature to the discharge petition for the Ukraine Support Act. Soon, the House will have a long-overdue vote on expressing its support for Ukraine and our opposition to the Russian invasion. The people of Ukraine have shown their mettle and courage, even while a fifth of their country has been overrun and occupied, while Russia's drones target civilian neighborhoods amid outages of power and heat through bitter winters, the people of Ukraine have endured. Their spirit is undiminished. Their valor is unmatched. Mr. Speaker, Vladimir Putin continues to believe that he can break their will to fight. He believes he can outlast the Ukrainians and can outlast us. He is wrong. Mr. Speaker, this House has now voted on bipartisan bills to assist Ukraine 12 times since the full invasion in 2022. On average, those bills have passed with 80 percent of the votes on this House floor. We have the opportunity to do it again, to stand with freedom, democracy, and our Ukrainian allies. ____________________
