Aderholt Condemns Russian Attack on Ukraine

WASHINGTON —Congressman Aderholt released the following statement to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

"What we have seen over the past few hours in Ukraine is truly heartbreaking. Vladimir Putin has attacked a sovereign nation without cause. This is something that has not occurred in Europe since World War II.

"Ukraine is a peaceful, freedom loving people. This invasion is a brutal effort by Putin to stamp out a democratic nation on his doorstep. This invasion will lead to thousands of innocent deaths. I am praying for, and encourage us as a nation, to stand with the Ukrainian people during this dark time."

Congressman Aderholt serves as a commission member of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (commonly known as the Helsinki Commission).
