While Russia\u2019s intentions are currently unknown, it is sending an elite tank unit near the Ukraine border, elevating international concern.\n\nAfter sending the letter to the Biden Administration, Congressman Turner and Ranking Member Rogers released the following statement:\n\n\u201cRussia continues to undermine the international community. This most recent build-up at the Ukrainian border demonstrates Putin\u2019s desire to weaken democracies and his disregard for NATO\u2019s call for disarmament, '' said Rep Turner. \u201cThe U.S. must remain committed to protecting the sovereignty and security of Ukraine as Russia continues to be a grave threat to their region. I urge the Biden administration to immediately provide support to the Ukrainians to help de-escalate this dangerous situation,\u201d concluded Turner.\n\n\u201cPutin has spent months deliberately escalating tensions with Ukraine. President Biden must send a clear message to Moscow that the United States and our NATO allies will defend our free European neighbors against Russian aggression,\u201d said Ranking Member Rogers. \u201cSending the wrong message at this critical time could have dire consequences for the people of Ukraine and our important international obligations.\u201d\n\nYou can read the full letter here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://turner.house.gov/2021/11/turner-and-rogers-urges-president-biden-to-take-action-at-the-ukrainian-russian-border"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7544769905507565, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
