Rep. Victoria Spartz, a Ukrainian American representing Indiana’s 5th Congressional District, delivered an emotional plea to President Joe Biden, fellow members of Congress, and the public on Tuesday morning.
“This is not a war,” she said. “This is a genocide of the Ukrainian people by a crazy man who cannot get over that Ukrainian people do not want socialism, [the] Soviet Union, [or] communism.”
NO RALLY AROUND THE FLAG EFFECT FROM UKRAINE IN BIDEN’S BAD POLL NUMBERS
“They are bombing civilians nonstop, day and night.”
“They are leveling the cities to the ground, destroying the people. They are slaughtering them like animals. They are killing the people. It is not a war. It’s a genocide because we have a crazy man that believes he has the whole world hostage,” she added while on the verge of tears.
“I can tell you one thing: If we don’t stop him there, he is not going to stop. He is going to go further. And then we’ll have to send our children to die to fight this,” she warned.
“So I think we have an obligation and duty to save this world [and] help Ukrainian people to survive.”
She then slammed Biden’s lack of action, saying, “What’s happening under his watch is [an] atrocity. What he do to this country and to the world is unforgivable.” She further warned that the blood of Ukrainians will be on Biden’s hands as well if he doesn’t act.
A reporter asked Spartz if she had contact with family in the country and if they are safe, to which she said, “No one is safe in that country.”
“These people will not surrender, but we need to give them a chance to survive. Otherwise, they have no chance. We’ll have millions of people killed.”
“We need to create humanitarian corridor for some people to be able to escape with children — women and children — because he’s now shooting at them. I think we have a responsibility,” she added.
