Today, U.S. Representative Antonio Delgado (NY-19) released the following statement on the developments in Ukraine:

"Russia's invasion of eastern Ukraine constitutes a grave violation of international law and is an affront to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. This incursion marks a dangerous new escalation in Russia's efforts to destabilize Ukraine.

We cannot afford inaction. We must work with our allies in NATO and the European Union to impose severe, robust sanctions on the Russian government. Putin's actions have already galvanized Western governments, reinvigorated NATO, and strengthened the resolve of democracies in Eastern Europe. While the coming weeks will be difficult, we must hold Putin and the corrupt oligarchs around him accountable."
