President Volodymyr Zelenskyy must not, and will not, be forced into any deal that does not guarantee the security and sovereignty of the Ukrainian people—the very people who elected him with over 73% of the vote in a free and fair election, as recognized by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Meanwhile, Russia has never held such elections.
💬 To President Zelenskyy and all negotiators:
There is a decisive number of Members of the United States Congress—from both parties and both Chambers—who stand ready to ensure that Communist Dictator Vladimir Putin is not rewarded for his illegal invasion, his war crimes, and his atrocities against the Ukrainian people.
🔹 We will not allow Russia’s crimes—rape, kidnapping, torture, and mass murder of innocent civilians—to be overlooked.
🔹 We will use every vote, every tool, and every ounce of influence to prevent an unjust settlement.
🔹 This is about global security, deterrence, and justice.
We all want an immediate end to this brutal invasion, but for peace to be lasting and just, it must hold Russia accountable, honor Ukraine’s dignity, and demand fair cost-sharing from all European nations. To do otherwise would be to invite future invasions, suffering, and war.
This is Peace Through Strength. This is Patriotic Common Sense. And this is what America must always stand for. 🇺🇸💙💛
