Steny Hoyer: “This is, no doubt, a shameless effort to tip the scales of the upcoming midterm elections by making it harder for voters…”

Because of the President’s decision, heroic Ukrainian men and women fighting for sovereignty, freedom, democracy will die. Innocent civilians will die. President Trump’s action will only prolong this war and reward the criminal invader.

The people of Ukraine have had to endure twelve years of Russian military aggression, occupation, full-scale invasion, the kidnapping of its children into Russia, and air attacks against their cities.

Vladimir Putin must be ecstatic. The President has made America an ally of Russia in its battle against democracy. How shameful.

The turning off of Ukraine’s Starlink access today means that fewer Russian attacks against civilians targets will be intercepted.
