Sandy Springs, GA — In response to last night’s Russian invasion of cities in Ukraine, Congresswoman Lucy McBath released the following statement:   

“Last night, Russian military forces began an unprovoked and unconscionable attack on the people of Ukraine. The world watched as Ukrainian homes were bombed, as rockets and shells terrorized, and as Russian soldiers invaded the sovereign country of Ukraine.

“The United States, its Allies, and its partners must continue to stand united as we strive for peace and prosperity in the region and around the globe.

“President Putin has demonstrated a disregard for the lives, safety, and sovereignty of our fellow humans in an act that will continue to cause death and destruction. The world mourns the suffering Russia’s aggression will bring, and our prayers are with the people of Ukraine as they bravely defend their home.”
