Kaptur Statement in Support of President Zelenskyy, Presidential Officials

July 9, 2022

Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) – Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus – released the following statement in support of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and presidential officials.

“On an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis, the United States Congress – led by the Congressional Ukraine Caucus – has spearheaded support for the sovereign nation of Ukraine in its heroic efforts to defend the homeland and end Russia’s brutal war. While some Members may seek to sow division and inflame tensions – as a whole, the United States Congress stands firmly behind President Zelenskyy and his leadership as Ukraine battles for its survival. The level and scope of the United States’ cooperation with President Zelenskyy’s office gives no reason to doubt the loyalty of any official. Those who are spreading wild narratives aimed at undermining Ukrainian officials during the war are recklessly providing aid to Putin and his propagandists. The United States is committed to Ukraine’s victory, and the Ukrainian people have no greater friend than the United States. As allies, we will continue working hand in hand with President Zelenskyy and his office to see that this war is brought to an end.”
