Mr. Speaker. as Western Europe strains with more than 1 million refugees fleeing war in the Middle East and enduring terrible conditions. I rise tonight to address another growing humanitarian crisis in Eastern Europe. in Ukraine. The free world has experienced time and again what happens when it fails to support innocents caught by fate under the brutal grip of war and oppression. Today that reality looms largely over Europe and surely over Ukraine. a nation of freedomseeking people under siege outnumbered and outgunned due to Russias invasion on Ukraines eastern front. So Europe in the western end as well as the eastern faces major displacement and humanitarian needs not seen since World War II.
