Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández issued this statement in response to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s address to Congress: 

“President Zelenskyy, like the brave people of Ukraine, has inspired the world in the fight for Ukraine’s sovereignty, freedom, and democracy. His visit comes at a critical time in the war, as winter arrives and Russia recklessly targets civilian water and electricity infrastructure.  The United States, in coordination with our allies around the world, must continue to support democracy and freedom in Ukraine in the face of an existential and unprovoked war against tyranny. The heroism of Ukrainians reminds us that our freedoms and democratic values we hold so dear are worth safeguarding and fighting for at home and abroad. I stand with the Ukrainian people, and look forward to voting in support of additional assistance to Ukraine’s defenders and people later this week.”
