LOWELL, MA – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan (MA-03) issued the following statement after Russia’s unjustified attack on Ukraine:

“Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is a violation of international law, and constitutes a massively destabilizing event with repercussions that will be felt for decades to come. Vladimir Putin and his enablers must pay a heavy price for their unjustified aggression.”

“I support President Biden’s unequivocal commitment to Ukraine and to our NATO allies, and trust that as his Administration continues to monitor and respond to the evolving situation in Europe, he will make every effort to keep Congress informed and engaged. An immediate drawdown of Russian military forces that protects Ukraine’s sovereignty must now be the international community’s top priority.”

“My thoughts are with Ukraine’s civilians and armed forces as they defend their independence and their aspirations for a peaceful, prosperous, and democratic future.”
