Ann Wagner: “As we stand here today, Vladimir Putin continues his unconscionable assault on the sovereign nation of Ukraine…”

“As we stand here today, Vladimir Putin continues his unconscionable assault on the sovereign nation of Ukraine, displacing millions of families and killing thousands of innocent civilians. In response to this horrific assault, my home State of Missouri has projected the colors of the Ukrainian flag on to our State capitol, as well as both landmarks in St. Louis and Kansas City. My bill here today will illuminate the Gateway Arch, the defining structure of the St. Louis skyline and a symbol of pride for the people of St. Louis, Missouri. It will also show the world that we stand united in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. Madam Speaker, with the support of the entire Missouri delegation, I urge my colleagues to pass this legislation. ____________________”
