Linda Thomas-Greenfield: “the important element of security that we do not get enough funding for is stability and democracy”

basic humanitarian assistance should never be held hostage to political disagreements.

Putin wants the world to travel back in time to a time before the United Nations, to a time when empires rule the world. But the rest of the world has moved forward. It is not 1919. It is 2022.

You know, we had 14 members of the security council today say to Russia, loudly and clearly, that`s what they are doing in Ukraine is unacceptable.

So, now, let me be clear, the United States will never recognize any territory Russia attempts to seize or allegedly annex, as anything other than parts of Ukraine. We reject Russia's actions unequivocally.
