Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, elected from Pennsylvania, assures that there is a sufficient number of representatives in the U.S. Congress who will not allow the president of the aggressor state, Vladimir Putin, to receive any “reward” for his invasion of Ukraine. Reports TSN. This information was shared by Kontrakty.UA.
He wrote about this on Thursday, February 20, on social media platform X.
“President Zelensky and all participants in the negotiations should know this: there is a decisive number of members of the United States Congress from both parties and both chambers who are ready, willing, and able to do everything possible to prevent the communist dictator Vladimir Putin from receiving any reward for his illegal invasion, rape, abduction, torture, and murder of the Ukrainian people, including many women and children,” the post states.
Brian Fitzpatrick promised that in the U.S. legislative body, every lever and every vote would be used for this purpose, regardless of personal or political consequences.
“This issue is so time-sensitive and existential. It defines legacy,” he emphasized.
At the same time, the politician noted that the president of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, who was elected in free and fair elections, should not be forced into “any agreement from any foreign state that does not guarantee the safety and sovereignty of the Ukrainian people.”
The Republican congressman, representing Donald Trump’s party, pointed out that everyone seeks an immediate end to the brutal Russian invasion and killings, but any peace agreement must be fair and long-term. According to him, it must be structured in a way that holds the Russian invaders accountable.
"This is about peace through strength. This is about patriotic common sense. And patriotic common sense is what America should always stand for," Fitzpatrick emphasized.
Recall that earlier a representative of the Democratic Party criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for his statements regarding Ukraine. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal called them "an appalling betrayal."
