joining me now is congressman tom malinowski of new jersey.in. thanks for coming back on this show. you are in poland, which has received those number of ukrainian refugees by far. tell me elaborate about how important this is for you. >> you know, i look at these people, and they remind me of my own family. the stories that my family told me about hiding from germans and nazis in world war ii. and, you know, we are seeing scenes that we thought at least in europe have vanished forever. and obviously, they were not. so, now we've got to do something about it. and i'm proud that my country is helping the ukrainians fight this fight. and i think ultimately, when this fight. but i'm also thinking about what happens after the fighting is over? hopefully, the russians are driven out of ukraine. we're gonna have some choices to make about the sanctions that we've imposed, and what to do with the assets of the hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars of russian assets that we have frozen. and i'm just asking the simple question, can you imagine,

. >> congressman tom malinowski is a democrat from new jersey and a member of the house foreign afastries committee. good to see you again, congressman. your own family history is tied to fleeing communism during the cold war. how does this refugee crisis resonate with you right now? >> well, you know, all of this reminds me of stories that my family told me about hiding from the nazi invaders of poland during the second world war. it brings back a lot of those family memories. they're not my personal memories, of course. but, look, the good news in this huge refugee crisis is that unlike most of the world's refugees, these ukrainian families have western europe, wealthy countries as their first port of call. they're not in a refugee camp with no food and water. and even more important, they're not looking for permanent resettlement. they are looking for temporary safety, and then to go home to ukraine, to a free and liberated ukraine as quickly as possible. and so, as we think about all of them on this easter, passover weekend, let's redouble our efforts to help ukraine win so that t

nick: tom malinowski, democrat of new jersey, thank you very much. rep. malinowski: thank you.licking on the lights in your home is not so simple in the middle of a war zone. with so much of ukraine's vital infrastructure targeted by russia, widespread power outages are the norm. it falls to local crews to restring power lines, all the while under fire. from the town of orikhiv near the front lines in southeastern ukraine, special correspondent willem marx and videographer edward kiernan report. willem: dmytro klepcha hurries work. they change into uniforms, apprehension apparent on every face. dmytro recently turned 40. for 20 years, he hasn't touched a cigarette. that has changed after the war arrived in his hometown, orikhiv. but this brief smoke break is interrupted, another incoming shell. though safe inside the shelter, the booms keep on coming, a terrifying soundtrack to a wednesday morning. no break in the barrage, but urgent repairs are required to restore power for the people they serve. dmytro: in this kind of job, you understand you cannot abandon your place of work

i was grate to feel co-lead this legislation with our colleague, tom malinowski of new jersey. thanks to an amendment from our colleague, peter meijer, the bill also urges the administration to expand sanctions on the members of the russian parliament. the duma. who voted in support of recognizing that donesk and luhansk people's republic which are illegal fabrications. this vote served as part of putin's pretext to russia's unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against the people of ukraine. anyone who supported that vote must fall under u.s. sanctions. full stop. the administration needs to seriously consider how we can use the frozen russian assets to help kyiv fight and continue winning then rebuild the country. i urge all colleagues to join me in supporting this bill. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from south carolina reserves. the gentleman from minnesota is recognized. mr. phillips: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from south carolina is recognized. mr. wilson: i'm pleased to yield three minutes to the gen
