Anita Anand: “I have to ensure that we’re still prepared and servicing relationships that have had less attention than is ideal.”

The testimony that we have heard over the past two days underscores the intense and unacceptable suffering that we know exists at Russia’s hands.

We have pledged to find Ukrainians who have been taken from their homes. We have pledged to bring them back, knowing that it can be dangerous, complex, difficult, but above all necessary.

This agreement is yet another reminder that North America and Europe are stronger together. And as a founding member of NATO, our commitment to the transatlantic alliance is ironclad," Anand said.

This is not an accident, this is not a side-effect of war. This is a systematic effort to separate Ukrainian children from Ukraine.
