we wind up with the same criticism after it has passed.

We cannot allow Putin and his cronies to get away with the vicious crimes they are committing. Impunity is not an option.

The international community must remain steadfast in documenting and prosecuting Putin's war crimes.

I welcome the ICC's recent decision to issue arrest warrants for Putin and the Russian commissioner for children's rights.

the issue we are talking about here is not a partisan issue.

we are not going to tolerate an agency saying, well, we do not like that law so we are not going to enforce it.

I appreciate that. DFC was put together by us, I think for the exact--I mean, this is a poster child for what we want to use the DFC for.

We will work very hard on this effort. We are working hard. We will continue to work hard.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you to our witnesses for appearing here today. We appreciate that.

I am a little disappointed in that answer, that it is not more aggressive and more recognizing of how important the DFC can be in what you are trying to do here.

Russia under Putin is an autocratic and imperialistic regime and poses an acute threat to the freedom and stability.

I do not know how you can watch what has happened in Ukraine, the atrocities that have been committed there on a par with the kinds of things that happened in World War II and say, well, this is all right because they wanted to join NATO…

I think there is a real opportunity there and I think that we really ought to exploit it, and I think it underscores the disgust that the world has with what Russia is doing there.

I am disgusted there, but that just means that we have got to pay more attention on a bilateral basis with our diplomacy.

We must view Russia not only as a serious adversary in its own right, but also recognize its role in U.S.-China competition.

I think probably anybody that operates in this lane on diplomacy cannot be more disgusted with the U.N. than it is right now.

We need to accept that Russia sees this kind of diplomacy as weakness and that it only seriously responds when we project strength.

We need a policy where Putin wakes up every morning worried about what we will do.

This Administration consistently and all too often worries about what Putin will do.

It just seems to me it needs more attention, more individual attention, because as you have noted, you got a whole lot on your plate.

The humanitarian and security catastrophe playing out in Sudan was predictable.

History tells us what is going to happen and that is it is going to move towards a full blown civil war.

Urgent leadership by the United States and its allies is required.

I think it is a good discussion of the issues and the problems and how we got here.

To be honest with you, I do not see how we move forward with the current situation the way it is in Sudan with two warring generals.
