Russia\u2019s violence is sustained by billions in oil revenue funneled through a \u201cshadow fleet\u201d of tankers bypassing sanctions. As part of a San Diego delegation with Shield of Freedom, I met with congressional offices to advocate for cutting off the revenue funding these attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Walking the halls of Congress with fellow San Diegans, including a mother and daughter who fled Ukraine after their home was destroyed, put a local face on this tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful to Reps. Mike Levin, D-San Juan Capistrano, and Scott Peters, D-San Diego, for co-sponsoring H.R.6856. I urge our other local representatives to join them. We must cut off the funding for this violence to ensure global security; it is the most direct path to a lasting peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kateryna Krupska, San Diego<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Re: \u201cZelenskyy slams Russia\u2019s \u2018utter cynicism\u2019 as strikes kill 22 in Ukraine before announced ceasefire\u201d (May 5): This&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":791463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,7281,1269,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-791462","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-letters-to-the-editor","12":"tag-opinion","13":"tag-san-diego","14":"tag-sandiego","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116562600197032244","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=791462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/791463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=791462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=791462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=791462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
