KYIV, Feb 20 – Republican U.S. House of Representatives member Brian Fitzpatrick says there are enough members of the U.S. Congress who are willing and able to do everything to prevent Russia from escaping responsibility for war crimes, regardless of the political consequences for themselves.

“President Zelenskyy, and all negotiators, need to know this: there is an outcome-determinative number of Members of the United States Congress, from both parties and in both Chambers, who are ready, willing, and able to do whatever it takes to prevent Communist Dictator Vladimir Putin from being rewarded for his illegal invasion, raping, kidnapping, torturing and murdering of the Ukrainian people, including so many women and children. We will use every lever and every vote at our disposal, regardless of the personal or political consequences. This matter is that time-sensitive and it is that existential. It is legacy-defining,” Fitzpatrick said on X Thursday.
