'This is not a war,' Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., said during a press conference on Capitol Hill. 'This is genocide of the Ukrainian people by a crazy man.'
A Republican congresswoman who was born in Ukraine harshly condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday for his“This is not a war,” Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., said during a news conference hosted by GOP leadership on Capitol Hill. “This is genocide of the Ukrainian people by a crazy man.”
Putin, she said, “cannot get over” the idea that the Ukrainian people want a democracy like the United States and do not want to be a part of his authoritarian regime., more than 660,000 people have fled Ukraine since Thursday, when Putin’s attack on the sovereign nation began. That number is expected to sharply grow as Russian bombs increasingly strike civilian areas and Russian troops assault Ukraine’s largest cities.
She also criticized President Biden, calling on him to give an even more aggressive response to the Kremlin’s attack on its smaller neighbor. “We have a president that talks about, talks about, and doesn’t do things,” Spartz said. “What is he going to do, wait until millions die? Then he’s going to do more? I mean, we have not just a moral duty, we are the leaders of the free world.”
The United States, along with its NATO and European Union allies, have levied sanctions against Russia and sent troops to the region. But“If we don’t stop him there,” Spartz said of Putin’s assault on Ukraine, “he is not going to stop. He is going to go further. And then we’ll to have to send our children to die to fight this.”
