Urgent Action Needed to Counter Russian Aggression in Ukraine

I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent escalation of Russian aggression in Ukraine and to urge immediate action to support Ukraine's sovereignty. The massive overnight attack on multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Odesa, and Zaporizhzhia, marks a grave intensification of the conflict. With over 800 drones and 13 missiles launched, this assault demonstrates Putin's blatant disregard for diplomacy and international law. The damage to Kyiv's main government building and the loss of civilian lives across the country are stark reminders of the human cost of this war. President Zelenskyy's report of casualties underscores the urgent need for increased support to Ukraine. This attack, coming shortly after 26 of Ukraine's allies pledged security guarantees for postwar Ukraine in Paris, shows Putin's determination to undermine diplomatic efforts and expand his control over Ukrainian territory. I strongly believe that Putin's actions reveal his true intentions: to subjugate the entire Ukrainian population under his corrupt regime. His warning against foreign troop deployment in Ukraine, coupled with threats of military response, indicates he has no genuine interest in de-escalation or peaceful resolution. In light of these developments, I urge you to take the following actions: 1. Support and expedite the EU's 19th package of sanctions against Moscow. 2. Collaborate with our European allies to implement joint sanctions, as discussed in the upcoming Washington delegation. 3. Increase military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine to counter this escalation. 4. Publicly condemn Russia's actions and reaffirm our commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty. Time is of the essence. Each day of inaction emboldens Putin's regime and costs more Ukrainian lives. By taking swift and decisive action, we can demonstrate our unwavering support for Ukraine's independence and send a clear message that such flagrant violations of international law will not be tolerated. I appreciate your attention to this critical matter and look forward to seeing concrete steps taken to address this urgent situation.
