WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), a member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Saturday released the following statement on the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine:

“As we mark the second anniversary of Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, Republicans need to wake up to the dire situation on the ground and stop playing games. I just spent five days talking to world leaders and allies in the region who repeatedly warned that Putin will likely not stop at Ukraine. If we allow Putin to succeed in making Kyiv a Russian city, a NATO country could be next, and it won’t be just thousands of Ukrainian lives at risk – it will be millions of Americans. The Senate has done its job, and I am, once again, calling on Speaker Johnson to put the national security supplemental on the floor for a vote.”
