WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott spoke on the Senate floor about Vladimir Putin’s unlawful and violent invasion of Ukraine and the decision by Senator Schumer to put legislative support for Ukraine behind a radical abortion bill and a postal reform bill that has not gone through the Senate committee process.

Senator Rick Scott said, “Americans are watching Russia’s invasion into Ukraine and they’re looking to us for leadership. As an evil tyrant wages war, they're asking how our government will respond. Congress is in Session and Senator Schumer has placed the world's most pressing issue on the backburner, behind a postal reform bill and a radical abortion bill. The Ukrainian people are being pushed out of their country and are losing their lives as they bravely defend their homes. We’re hearing stories of Ukrainian grandfathers taking up arms to defend their families – why is Senator Schumer not allowing the Senate to immediately take action on the gross attacks by Putin? I’m proud to have joined Senator Jim Risch, Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to urge the immediate passage of the Never Yielding Europe’s Territory (NYET) Act to provide the critical support Ukraine needs to defend itself and deter Russian aggression, while imposing real costs on the Kremlin. I urge the Senate to act on this bill immediately to punish Putin for his unjustified violence.”
