First, second, and third, we thank the Ukrainian people for what they are doing right now on behalf of global democracy.

The U.S.-India relationship, arguably, has never been stronger, and the United States is grateful to the people of India and Prime Minister Modi for our growing friendship.
It is interesting how many potential interlocutors there are today between Ukraine and Russia.
reserving the right to object. First, very quickly, let me make a few final points about Senator Risch's comments. Senator Risch says that this isn't a partisan exercise. It is. The bill that Senator Risch is talking about was introduced…
reserving the right to object. First of all, let me agree with my Republican colleagues. We stand in awe today of the Ukrainian people, of President Zelenskyy, of the Ukrainian military. They have given the Russians more than they thought…
The U.S. allies are coordinating to not only freeze the assets of Putin and his oligarch allies, but to seize those assets as well.
This settlement is the maximum amount that Remington was insured for. They had tried to make an offer earlier for about half to one-third this amount.
The ramifications, the consequence of this settlement are going to be significant, and they`re going to last for a long time.
An acute priority is collaborating with Colombia to fend off the malign activities of state and non-state actors.
It is imperative that the United States and political actors in the United States respect the sovereign will of the Colombian people.
Colombia cannot achieve lasting peace without addressing the systematic inequities that have contributed to persistent violence.
U.S. interests will be best served by a Colombia that vigilantly respects democracy and builds a more inclusive capitalism.
We should stand in unyielding support for Colombia's democratic process and institutions, not for or against particular candidates in the upcoming elections.
We also continue to support Colombia's security efforts to ensure every citizen can exercise their right to vote safely.
We will engage with Colombia's next administration with the shared goal that governments must not only be elected democratically, but also govern democratically.
What Putin wants is a binding document that commits NATO countries and Ukraine to never have Ukraine as a member. And that is giving up not just the sovereignty of Ukraine, that`s giving up our own sovereignty.
I will still press for increased U.S. involvement at the highest level, to try to resolve this, given that we have an opportunity to do it with new leadership.
if the choice eventually becomes the disintegration of the country and the region into civil war versus a difficult decision made by the high representative, I think we will have to carefully weigh the equities on both sides.
it is really hard to press our friends in the region to continue reform, and it is not coincidental that you have seen the doors shutting to the EU at the same time that we have seen democratic backsliding in the region.
I think they were smart, clearly leaving the window open for diplomacy but making it clear we`re not going to trade away basic principles of democracy and sovereignty.
We need to make sure that Russia understands, there is going to be a devastating blow to their economy if they walk into Ukraine.
This would be, in my mind, a massive strategic mistake akin to the invasion of Afghanistan by Russia in 1980.
