Here is the transcript of Congressman Don Bacon’s words from that day:

“OK, I was going to introduce the prosecutor. Ladies and gentlemen. So good to have you here today. You know, the invasion of Ukraine is a crime against humanity. We have so many different evidences of that. It's an unjust war, it's an unprovoked war. In fact, I studied the history of this region of Putin doesn't see the Ukrainians as individual people, their own nationality as a war against the people of Ukraine. And today we want to put a spotlight on one of these crimes against humanity and the fact that the Russians have kidnapped 16,226 I think I got that number right? Children and they've taken them from Ukraine, they put them in re education centers and then out to the families in Russia, away from their own families like foster care. And so these Children lose roots or connections with their real moms and dads, their family, they lose connections with their own country and they lose country with their own ethnicity and their culture. And this is really the intent of what Vladimir Putin is doing. The UN Human Rights Council has said this is a crime against humanity. And the International Court has filed charges against President Putin on this act alone.”
