Colorado Dems Statement on Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Denver, CO – Colorado Democratic Party Chair Morgan Carroll released the following statement in response to President Biden’s speech on the Russian invasion of Ukraine:

“Putin’s premeditated attack on Ukraine is an assault on peace and a clear violation of freedom. We applaud President Biden’s cooperation with our allies to carry out decisive actions to place strong sanctions on Russia. We also commend the President for standing up to big energy corporations demanding that they not take advantage of this moment to raise prices at the pump.

“While President Biden rightfully recognized Putin as an aggressor that violated international law, the GOP’s leader, Trump, called him a ‘genius.’ If Colorado Republicans truly stand for the American values of freedom and democracy, they must denounce Trump for praising Putin.”
