House SpeakerPelosi said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin will pay a price for his “evil move” toward Ukraine.
Earlier this week, Putin called two occupied regions in Ukraine — the Luhansk People's Republic and the Donetsk People's Republic — independent, and he ordered what the Russian government called “peacekeeping” troops into those regions, in what the United States said was a prelude to an invasion.Pelosi told reporters at the Capitol that"it's stunning to see in this day and age a tyrant go into a country.
“This is the same tyrant who is opposed to democracy, wants to minimize, trivialize, downgrade it in the eyes of the Russian people,” Pelosi continued. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff compared Putin to a boa constrictor that has encircled Ukraine with troops.
