U.S. politicians have had a lot to say about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Here are some of the statements released from those who represent the San Antonio area & Texas in Washington D.C.
The State of Texas stands with the people of Ukraine in their fight for sovereignty.
May God bless them and keep them safe.
The United States must do all we can to repel Putin’s invasion.

Praying for the millions of Ukrainians who are facing Putin’s unprovoked aggression & this existential threat.
Ukraine has America’s steadfast support & we will continue to arm them so they can defend their country. Those involved in this should know they’ll be held accountable.

We have a responsibility to support the Ukrainian people as they fight to defend their sovereignty.
If we fail to support Ukraine, other authoritarian movements like China and Iran will take note.

We keep hearing about the what’s and the why’s.
Ukraine is full of innocent people. Many of them will die.
This is wrong. #ukraine

Russia should be kicked off the UN Security Council. The UN has become a complete joke and this might be a good first step to correcting that problem.
