Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, we have all seen the horrific images coming out of the Kyiv suburb of Bucha and the surrounding areas, where hundreds of civilians have been killed, left lying in the street by Russian forces. Bucha residents have recounted watching their family members being raped or shot right in front of them by the Russian forces, but we know this horrific brutality is occurring throughout Ukraine in every region where the Russian Army is positioned. It is difficult to find words to express the unacceptable brutality that the photos and videos from Bucha have laid evidence of. Russian President Vladimir Putin has cemented himself in history as an evil war criminal. I would like to use the remainder of my time for a brief moment of silence to remember these victims and their families in Bucha and across Ukraine, realizing that historically, in this 21st century, this is the test of our time, and the world is watching. ____________________”
