March 9, 2022 - Washington, DC - Congressman Mo Brooks (AL-05) is an original cosponsor of Congressman Michael Burgess’ (TX-26) resolution, H.Con.Res. 76, expressing the U.S. Congress’s sense that Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin should be charged with war crimes if any harm befalls Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the hands of Russian forces.

Congressman Brooks said, “Vladimir Putin is an evil dictator. He has a long track record of poisoning and imprisoning political opponents. He has viciously brought war to the peaceful Ukrainian people. He’s a tyrant akin to the worst in world history such as the murderous Adolph Hitler, Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, and Pol Pot. The United States and freedom-loving nations worldwide must confront him as such. If his vicious, unprovoked attack on Ukraine results in one scratch on Ukrainian President Zelensky, Putin should be charged with war crimes and brought to justice.”

Brooks concluded, “History teaches us that dictators are emboldened when freedom-loving countries do nothing to confront them. Putin must face stiff consequences for his diabolical actions or he’ll continue wreaking havoc. I support making life as hellish as possible for Putin and his oligarchical cronies, and I urge the Russian people to bravely stand up and do what America regularly does: replace our political leaders. Putin has terrorized long enough.”
