I want to commend that.

I believe there is some value in digital assets. I think we need to continue to explore it.

I think we ought to broaden those sanctions, and I think the legislation... will ratchet off that ability to evade those critically important sanctions.

We ought to sanction the whole Russian Duma for being complicit with Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine.

Women and children are being bombed. Nobody on this Committee is calling for U.S. boots on the ground in Ukraine. But there's more we can do, and we should be going faster.

Zelensky is a hero on behalf of 44 million Ukrainians. He's asking for more help, and the Administration should be doing more faster.

Putin's aggression against Ukraine and against international rules and norms demonstrates the urgency of maintaining American superiority in emerging domains.

While Putin was lying to us and to the Ukrainians and his own people, your people were ascertaining the truth, and we were warning the world.

If Congress had just followed Senator Collins ten or eleven years ago, we might be further along on the cyber issue.

I'm proud to say that in the budget bill that hopefully we'll take up the next day or two--it's already passed the House--we finally have put in place a cyber-notification process.

We may not be at war with Russia, but we are most certainly in conflict with Putin.

I think that ability to compete against China--and it will require, frankly, not only the United States, but it will require great working with our allies around the world--is critically important in a clear intelligence and national…

The truth is, China is not trying to have a dual-win circumstance. They intend to win and dominate in technology domain after technology domain.

Truth is, right now, NATO is more unified than ever.

I believe with all my heart that the people of Ukraine are literally voting with their lives, embracing the values that we take for granted every day.

The people of Ukraine demonstrate a bravery and a commitment to defend their country against the madness of Putin's attempt at authoritarian subjugation.

I want to first express, though, my enormous, enormous gratitude for the accuracy with which the IC predicted Putin's plans to invade Ukraine.

This dialog and transparency is a fundamental pillar of democracy.

The world should live in peace, the world should live in a pluralistic way, by which he meant with freedom of speech, freedom of religion, self-determination--and that's what's at stake here.

The annual worldwide threats hearing is critically important.

I would recognize that Senator Collins has been working on literally for years and years and years.

This is no time to forget the lessons of history, for this is a monster you cannot make a deal with.

I truly believe that whoever wins the technology race in the 21st century will lead to economic and other levels of dominance.

Right now, Putin is waging an illegal and disastrous war in Ukraine.

I believe that Russian troops are preparing to go into Kyiv immediately.
