Elfreth Statement on Ukrainian Independence and Democracy

February 20, 2025 Press Release ANNAPOLIS, MD – Today, Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth (MD-03) issued the following statement in response to the President’s comments that undermine Ukrainian independence and democracy. “While I agree with the President that our NATO allies can and should invest more in the security of Europe, I was astonished and disappointed to see the President siding with an adversary and dictator, Vladimir Putin, while repeating Russian-propaganda and falsely calling an American ally, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a dictator. The White House’s statements and actions this week only serve to undermine the independence of Ukraine and destabilize the 76-year alliance with our European friends. House Democrats will always stand on the side of democracy and Ukraine.” ### Issues : National Security & Veterans
