WASHINGTON, D.C. - As US President Donald Trump’s political pendulum swings back toward punishing Kremlin strongman Vladimir Putin for starting the war in Ukraine, more Republican senators are finding a safe space to air their positions about the atrocities that Putin has committed there.

On Monday, Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), the high-profile chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, urged a “different approach” to Putin, labeling him a “deceptive war criminal,” Kyiv Post’s Washington correspondent reports from Capitol Hill.

The Mississippi Republican and US Air Force veteran delivered critical remarks on the Senate floor, commending Trump for his continued efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine, criticizing Putin for his aggression and war crimes, including bombing civilians.
