Fundamentally, there has to be a political agreement. We are not going to humanitarian aid our way out of this humanitarian crisis.
In Ukraine, for example, USAID has helped farmers withstand Putin's attempts to destroy the agricultural sector.
The fact that Putin is not only killing Ukrainians, but weaponizing food for developing countries, is just a complete outrage.
We cannot abandon freedom, and we cannot leave Ukraine to be the victim of aggression at a time like this.
