John,

Late last night, President Putin launched an unprovoked, all-out war against the independent, democratic country of Ukraine. This coldly premeditated war will tragically kill thousands of innocent civilians and brave Ukrainian defenders in an attempt to restore a sphere of influence similar to the days of the Soviet Union.

Over the past week, I've had the privilege to meet in person with leaders of our NATO and European allies and listen to stories about confronting the occupation of the old Soviet Union. I've met with members of our armed forces who have been preparing to defend against Russian aggression. This morning, all of them woke up to the news that Putin has launched the largest war in Europe since World War II.

My prayers are with them and the people of Ukraine.

Now, both chambers of Congress must work to swiftly pass a new sanctions package that ensures Russia’s leaders pay the price for this war. We must also be prepared to support Ukraine and our NATO allies in Eastern Europe with additional military, economic, and humanitarian assistance, and we must stand vigilant and counter Russian disinformation.

The Administration has made it very clear that America stands united with our partners and allies in defense of the Ukrainian people. As President Biden has said — and reaffirmed again this afternoon with stronger sanctions and restrictions — the world must and will hold Putin to account.

Thank you,

Chris Coons
