We will continue to support your heroic efforts to achieve victory.

I am considering legislation to strengthen our tools to counter the Wagner Group.

I am tired of hearing that. Everyone talks about the need to hand Russia a strategic defeat in Ukraine, but the Administration's policy stopped short of fully supporting that goal.

America stands with them and we stand with them in saying 'no' to a vicious autocrat trying to redraw the maps of their country by force.

I have been supportive of the Administration's response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need to expand mental health services for children in the United States. More than 20 percent of parents with children aged 5-12 years reported that their children experienced worsened mental or…

we are currently in consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act, and the leadership is working out a timing agreement for a vote possibly on one or more amendments and then a vote on the NDAA. The Defense bill is the most…

in response to my colleague, might I modify my request because, certainly, someone should have the right to vote no if they want to vote no. So let me modify my request. I would ask unanimous consent that the Senate Committee on Foreign…

in just a second, I will make a motion for unanimous consent. Before I do, I just want to say, this Nation has a bipartisan track record of fielding fantastic women diplomats: Secretary Clinton, Secretary Rice, Secretary Albright. So this…

I said I was rising for multiple purposes. It is now my third purpose, but I would seek consent to speak--I know we have a vote call at 5--for about 5 minutes on legislation being contemplated tomorrow. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

I do rise for multiple purposes. The first is to acknowledge that earlier this week, on Monday, December 12, we marked the historic bicentennial of diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico. Our two countries share a…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. 200th Anniversary of United States and Mexico Bilateral Relations

Putin is the one that can change it, but the U.S. can also play an important role in rebutting misinformation from the Russians.

I was there to deliver President Biden's message that we are standing with you.

I do not buy Putin's explanation for the withdrawing from the agreement in the first place because the Ukrainian drone attacks were on their own sovereign territory, which continues to be illegally occupied by Russia.

I hope we will use the Holodomor commemoration as an opportunity to really cast a spotlight on this.

As important as this grain deal is, we cannot forget that it is a workaround to a crisis that Vladimir Putin created.

We should not be distracted from these unbelievably horrific attacks against the civilian energy infrastructure.

I was scheduled to come to the floor today to offer live UCs to bring up two Biden nominees--very important nominees--to assume diplomatic posts in the Western Hemisphere. Senator Scott of Florida was scheduled to be here to oppose my UCs…

I am not going to ask you to repeat questions that I am sure my colleagues have asked.

The Administration confronted a very, very difficult challenge, which is European nations, including Ukraine, did not think there would be an invasion.

I do not mind criticizing administrations that are Democratic or Republican if things are going wrong.

I rise to talk about a piece of legislation that was announced last night by a very close friend of mine, Senator Manchin of West Virginia--the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2022. Senator Manchin and I were Governors together…
