"As Putin continues bombing Ukraine and murdering innocent civilians, there is no reason we should be supporting any sector of Russia's economy."
Comments from Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley of March 4, 2025 after the Trump/Zalenskyy blow-up in the Oval Office.
Dear Constituent:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your support for Ukraine against Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s full scale invasion. I share your support.
At the onset, I would like to take this opportunity to state emphatically that I feel for everyone fighting for their independence and way of life in the face of brutal Russian aggression. I certainly want to see an end to the war, and I support calls for the United States to stand firm in its unwavering support for Ukraine to push Russia back into its borders. I met with President Zelenskyy on February 28 as part of a senatorial delegation, and reaffirmed my long-held position that Putin is a dictator who is not interested in giving up his imperial ambitions.
