                                UKRAINE

  (Mr. DOGGETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DOGGETT. Mr. Speaker, Putin and Trump: a dictator and a wannabe, 
and another destroyed Ukrainian city. Thousands have been murdered and 
thousands of children have been kidnapped. Trump disgracefully voted 
yesterday with North Korea and Russia to blame the murdered, not the 
murderer.
  Trump is joining a rogues' gallery of lesser dictators to deny 
Putin's murderous invasion, his war crimes, and a demand that he return 
occupied Ukrainian territory. Trump, ``the great appeaser,'' is joined 
in this appalling wrong by House Republican accomplices.
  While Ukrainians dodge bullets and missiles and are risking death 
daily, most of the House Republicans seem scared into silence by the 
threat of a very mean Trump tweet. By its silence, this Republican 
white flag surrender caucus is emboldening our adversaries to replace 
the world order established by both Democratic and Republican leaders 
since World War II.
  If we fail Ukraine, our democratic ally, we fail the rule of law. 
Let's unite to resist the appeasement of Putin and seek a victory for 
self-determination, democracy, and freedom.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
