Prosecuting Putin’s criminal invasion of Ukraine and its continuing travesties deserve the Biden administration’s—and the American public’s—full attention.
I fully agree with the need for continuing the U.S. commitment to support Ukraine against Putin's war of aggression.

Also encouraging are the continuing sanctions by the EU against Russia, including squeezing Russia's nuclear power industry.
