FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rep. Mark Green Statement on Russian Invasion of Ukraine
WASHINGTON—Today, Rep. Mark Green, member of the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committees, issued the following statement after Russia’s invasion of sovereign Ukraine:
“Vladimir Putin’s end goal has been on display for some time now. Instead of swift, crippling sanctions, the Biden Administration chose the wait-and-watch approach. In the midst of destabilizing Russian aggression, the time for action was months ago. We all witnessed Putin’s false flag propaganda play out—just like U.S. intelligence officials predicted. This invasion has been anticipated for weeks.
While in Kyiv, I spoke with many Ukrainians. They are capable of defending their home—they are resilient. However, despots around the world, including China, are watching as Vladimir Putin has his way. As the world witnesses this invasion, our prayers remain with our fellow Americans on the ground in Eastern Europe—including those from Fort Campbell—and with the brave people of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin has chosen devastation over democracy, and the free world will not forget it.”
