Tonight, I’m proudly wearing a Ukrainian scarf given to me by a Ukrainian constituent to the President’s State of the Union Address. Support for the Ukrainian people means standing up to Putin, protecting our national security, and fighting for democracy.

I have spoken with partners and allies from across the globe—including Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, leaders of NATO countries, and Serhiy, an injured Ukrainian soldier. Their message is clear. We have no time to waste. Congress must send aid to Ukraine before it's too late.

I joined the Ukrainian American community yesterday to urge the House GOP to pass the national security supplemental and stand by our allies. It was incredibly moving to hear from Serhiy, an injured Ukrainian soldier, about what U.S. support means for the frontlines.
