Indiana GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz, a Ukraine native, delivered a passionate appeal Tuesday before President Biden's State of the Union address, saying the world needs him to stop the "genocide" of the Ukrainian people and if Biden doesn't step up, the "blood of many millions of Ukrainians will be on his hands, too."
Spartz, who fled Soviet-controlled Ukraine at the age of 21, talked of friends and family still in Ukraine, including her 95-year-old grandma, who are experiencing Russian President Vladimir Putin's forces bomb "civilians nonstop day and night," murder innocent women and children with machine guns and level cities to the ground, she said.
"This is not a war," a tearful Spartz, 43, said at a House Republican news conference Tuesday. "This is a genocide of the Ukrainian people by a crazy man who cannot get over that Ukrainian people do not want socialism, the Soviet Union [or] communism. They want to be with the United States of America. They want to be free people."
