At #SatSummit2022 , DAS Steinhelfer discussed satellite technology’s utility during conflict circumstances. He also highlighted its relevance to ObserveConflict documentation work now underway for Ukraine.

Senior Advisor Robert J. Faucher joined former CSO colleague @PatrickWQuirk to discuss CSO’s work in #AtrocityPrevention , to #PromoteStability , and through the ObserveConflict program. Appreciate University of Notre Dame and @RandCorporation for hosting these timely discussions.

Russia’s sham “referenda” were a spectacle, an effort to mask a further attempted land grab. We will never recognize Russia's purported annexation of Ukrainian territory and, as President Biden has said, the United States will support Ukraine for as long as it takes.

Actions speak louder than words. Despite Russia's propaganda, cowardly and inhumane acts like this erase all doubt: Russia has no good intentions towards Ukraine. They are not protecting anyone. They are destroying lives. #StandWithUkraine

BREAKING: USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance is providing additional $3.5 million in immediate #humanitarian assistance to Papua New Guinea to support displaced persons and survivors of violence in the Highlands. #PNG

As we remember the 1941 massacre of Jews at Babyn Yar in Ukraine, Russia’s claim that Ukraine must be “denazified” insults all who suffered, and those who bravely resisted, during the Nazi regime. Distorting the history of the Holocaust undermines efforts to prevent atrocities.

On the 81st anniversary of the massacre at Babyn Yar in Ukraine, eight countries’ envoys for Holocaust issues joined Ellen Germain in a strong statement condemning Russian government crimes and atrocities in Ukraine. #NeverAgain state.gov/on-the-anniver…

Countries from Germany to Israel to Kazakhstan have already joined us in saying they will not recognize any territories purportedly annexed following Russia’s sham referenda. Kherson is Ukraine. Zaporizhzhya is Ukraine. Donetsk is Ukraine. Luhansk is Ukraine. Crimea is Ukraine.

.@USAMBUN: The United States will never recognize any territory Russia attempts to seize or allegedly annex as anything other than part of Ukraine. We reject Russia’s actions unequivocally. #UnitedWithUkraine

Met today with Guinea Foreign Minister Dr. Morissanda Kouyaté. We urged respect for human rights & the imperative of Guinea’s transition to democracy and constitutional rule, and underscored 🇺🇸 commitment to #PromoteStability in West Africa.

The US has provided $8.5 billion to support core Ukrainian government functions—from keeping electricity flowing to paying civil servants & teachers. Accountability is key, and this agreement adds more oversight from third-party monitors to verify that funds reach those in need.

We have seen this playbook in Crimea:

- The Kremlin goes in and installs puppet local governments
- They hold a vote with guns aimed at voters
- They declare the region Russian territory.

It is a sham and an affront to international law and common sense.

Grateful for the opportunity to address U.S. Allies and partners at the @CEPA Forum today. As Putin doubles down on his illegal, unprovoked war, we stand resolutely with the people of Ukraine as they fight for their country.

Pleased to meet with Foreign Minister Tkatchenko for the first time. We discussed deepening U.S.-Papua New Guinea security cooperation, Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine, and partnering on the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability. state.gov/deputy-secreta…

.Ned Price: The so-called referenda Russia is holding right now in the sovereign Ukrainian regions of Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Luhansk, and Donetsk are a total sham. The U.S. will never recognize seized Ukrainian territory as anything other than part of Ukraine.

Fundamentally, Ukraine is fighting for its homeland. The Kremlin’s forces are not.

Ukraine does not belong to Russia. It belongs to the people of Ukraine, and that’s the simple truth.

We’re going to continue to give Ukraine the support it needs to succeed.

Russia’s military has damaged, destroyed, or taken control of nearly 1 out of every 6 of Ukraine’s grain storage facilities since the latest invasion began. Read more about how Putin’s war is making food less available around the world: share.america.gov/report-details…

Today, Secretary Antony Blinken announced an additional $457.5 million in civilian security and criminal justice assistance for Ukraine. This aid will strengthen the vital work of law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to serve and protect Ukrainian civilians. state.gov/457-5-million-…
