by Vivian Jones, The Tennessean, March 27, 2026- U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles was among the five members of Congress organized by U.S. Rep Anna Paulina Luna who met with a delegation of sanctioned Russian State Duma officials visiting Washington on March 26.

The meeting came despite sanctions imposed by Washington in light of Moscow’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

... “We will continue to foster this dialogue and push for peace in support of this admins push for peace, as well as economic opportunity,” Ogles wrote.

Nikonov has described Russia’s current invasion of Ukraine as “truly a holy war” and “a metaphysical clash between the forces of good and evil.” (link)
