The humanitarian crisis in Syria has reached staggering heights.

I commend the hundreds of aid workers, NGOs, and implementing partners that are on the ground risking their lives to provide food and medical care to the Syrian people.

I am proud that the United States has stepped up to lead the worldwide humanitarian response effort.

This flagrant violation of international humanitarian norms must end.

This resolution serves as a clear and unequivocal statement in support of the sovereign territory of Georgia.

We will be unwavering in insisting on the territorial sovereignty of sovereign states, whether Putin likes it or not.

You cannot have any confidence in an election when Russian troops are all over your territory.

There are international mechanisms for dispute resolution. They do not include the invasion and occupation for 8 long years of another country's sovereign territory.

I have consistently insisted, since the illegal invasion and annexation of the Crimea, that we must be clear as a bell, no ambiguity, no other conditionality.

It is up to the Ukraine, I would say to my friend from California, to decide on the disposition of its own territory, not up to us and not up to Russia.

I think that what unites Americans is that we do believe that people have a right, through the ballot box, to determine their destiny.

They have a democratic government. They had a revolution to get it. They overthrew the previous government because it was corrupt, it was a kleptocracy.

You must withdraw from your illegal annexation and occupation of the Crimea.
