Mr. Speaker, today, we took the responsible step of funding the people's government. Unfortunately, we did not, however, fund our allies in Ukraine. The Speaker has said publicly and privately that he is going to bring Ukraine to the floor when we come back. I rise to assure our Ukrainian allies and those brave young men and women and not-so-young men and women who are in the field at the point of the spear defending freedom and democracy that I believe that there are over 300 votes on this floor, as there have been seven times, to support them in their battle, which is our battle as well. I urge all of us, as soon as we return, to defend freedom through our Ukrainian warriors. ____________________

Mr. Chair, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. This bill perhaps will pass this House. It certainly will not pass the Senate, and it will not see the light of day on the President's desk. We spend our time here arguing a bill that…
