by Newt Gingrich
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s effort to conquer Ukraine is a clear violation of the international order, which was established with the founding of the United Nations in 1945.
The brutality and viciousness of the Russian attack constitute massive violations of international law. Russian forces have violated and slaughtered civilians, kidnapped children, and indiscriminately bombed noncombatants. In Russia and across the globe, Putin’s persecution, imprisonment, and poisoning of political opponents make even clearer how his dictatorship operates outside the boundaries of civilized behavior. By any plausible standard, Putin is a war criminal.
There is a clear, non-violent response to Russian aggression, which would weaken Putin and strengthen Ukraine at no cost to the American taxpayer.
