Congressman Al Green Attends Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s Address to Joint Session of Congress

(Washington, D.C.) — On Wednesday, December 21, 2022 Congressman Al Green attended the joint session of Congress and released the following statement:

“For nearly one year, the Ukrainian people have displayed courageous fortitude in the face of overwhelming adversity. During that time, realizing freedom is not free, America has extended the hand of friendship by providing humanitarian aid, economic assistance, and defense support. Hence, it is with great respect that I welcome President Zelenskyy’s message of victory through unity. As Ukraine continues forging forward in the battle for freedom, it is imperative that the U.S. not cease its support now or lose faith in the resolve of the Ukrainian people who are fighting to maintain a world order wherein disputes are not escalated to war. Either we will stand together fearlessly against Russian aggression in Ukraine or live separately in fear of Russian aggression everywhere.”
