Linda Thomas-Greenfield: “To me, that represents the progress, and promise, of America.”

The truth is that this war was one man`s choice, and one man alone -- President Putin. It was his choice to force hundreds of thousands of people to stuff their lives into backpacks and flee the country.

We have used the Security Council, we have used the General Assembly to isolate Russia, to condemn Russia, to kick Russia off of the Human Rights Council.

We absolutely support Israel's right to defend itself from this brutal attack on its own territory that we all witnessed at over the weekend.

They have been isolated in the international community. And this is a desperate action by a country that does not have confidence in itself.
