Linda Thomas-Greenfield: “basic humanitarian assistance should never be held hostage to political disagreements.”

We know the outcomes of these sham referenda were predetermined in Moscow. They, in no way, represent a legitimate expression of the will of the Ukrainian people. The will of the Ukrainian people is clear every day as they fight valiantly…

I can tell you that the Russians were making every effort to intimidate and press those countries away from supporting this General Assembly resolution.

President Putin miscalculated. He miscalculated how strong our partnership with Europe (INAUDIBLE), and he miscalculated NATO.

Ukraine is not theirs to take. It’s not theirs to have elections in. They have attacked a sovereign, independent country.
