Washington, D.C. - Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's virtual address to Members of Congress.

“The courage and bravery of President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people continue to inspire. As President Zelenskyy said, Ukraine truly is at the forefront of the fight for democracy. Putin’s warped vision of reuniting the Soviet Union must never be allowed to come to fruition and we must defend the resolve of the Ukrainian people in their fight against it. 

“For the past 30 years the people of Ukraine and the rest of the former Soviet bloc have shown they value freedom of speech, the rule of law, and the ideals of democracy. As President Zelenskyy showed, and as we have seen in horrific images across Ukraine from mass graves to leveled residential communities, the barbarity of Putin’s tactics is daunting. I will, and we must, continue to advocate that the United States do everything it can to support Ukraine in this fight. Slava Ukraini!”
