Russia's unjustified and unprovoked war against Ukraine has shattered European security and undermined global economic stability.

Thankfully, the Polish Government kept its cool, waited for all information to come in, and determined that it was shrapnel from a Ukrainian air defense missile.

If confirmed, I will continue working closely with Romania to strengthen our shared values of democracy and support for the rules-based order.

It is clear that the party ultimately responsible for this tragic incident is Russia.

If confirmed, I will work to ensure Estonia continues to strengthen its capabilities and ability to contribute to its own defense.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) is the greatest geopolitical challenge that we face because it is the only competitor with the intent and increasingly the capability to remake the international order.

The pursuit of a Europe whole, free, and at peace has been the generational goal of our diplomacy during my entire career.

Estonia exemplifies what it means to be a committed member of NATO.

Estonia has been a leader in the region's response to Russia's unjust war in Ukraine.

We cannot want it more than they do.

The plight of U.S. citizens detained in Russia will be a top priority for me.
