Ranking Member Shaheen Statement on Russia’s Latest Assaults

WASHINGTON—Today, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement in response to Russia’s latest attacks on Ukraine:

“In the wake of President Trump’s call with Putin, Russian attacks continued on Ukrainian cities like Kropyvnytskyi and Slovyansk, where civilian infrastructure and residences were hit and children were wounded. Just last night, Russia assaulted Odesa, Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv with drones and bombs. When Trump asked for the killing to stop, Putin refused. Putin does not want peace, and it is time for the President to realize that."
