Washington, D.C. — Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s address to the U.S. Senate:
“As I’ve said from the beginning, Ukraine’s fight is not just for Ukraine. Theirs is a fight for democracy. At the beginning of Putin’s lawless invasion, no one would have predicted how successful the Ukrainian people and their soldiers would be. Their courage, relentlessness, and sacrifice have exposed Putin’s weakness and renewed the world’s faith in democracy.
“As the Ukrainian people continue to give their lives, the United States has an essential and unique role to lead the free world in Ukraine’s defense. The future of democracy is at stake.”
