Houston lawmakers united in condemnation against Russia's invasion of Ukraine

HOUSTON - The unprovoked Russian invasion of sovereign Ukraine has triggered condemnation from Houston area Congressional leaders in the strongest possible terms.

"The Russians need to feel pain for this," said Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX). "This is completely barbaric behavior on the part of the Russians. It's barbaric."

Speaking from Ukraine where she participated in a fact-finding mission, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) compared Putin's invasion to some of human history's greatest atrocities.

"Putin was a stormtrooper that marched into Ukraine like the senseless, purposeless, immoral wars of medieval times," said Jackson Lee. "This war and violent attack in 2022 is purposeless, immoral, and senseless."

A scathing denunciation was echoed by Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (D-TX) who says the Russian President is in the process of degenerating into a perpetrator of war crimes.

"Putin has chosen to do this," said Garcia. "You know he will be responsible for all the lives lost. He will be responsible for all the infrastructure that will be lost. He will be responsible for everything that results from this invasion."
