The world must not lose sight of the horrors being perpetuated by Russian forces. We must continue to speak out. To condemn Russia’s campaign of brutality. To stand with Ukrainians as they defend their sovereignty and freedom.

The Security Council must condemn Houthi attacks on the oil tanker MT DELTA SOUNION and demand immediate compliance with resolution 2722. The Houthis’ brazen actions threaten to create an ecological disaster with devastating consequences for the region. state.gov/houthi-attacks…

Earlier today, Russia launched missiles and drones against Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure. I condemn – in the strongest possible terms – Russia’s continued war against Ukraine and its efforts to plunge the Ukrainian people into darkness.

500 days ago, a brutal, senseless conflict broke out in Sudan. The consequences have been devastating. For the victims of crimes against humanity. For the millions of Sudanese who have been displaced. For all those facing starvation and famine. This war must end. Immediately.

Russia's deadly strike on Poltava, Ukraine, killing more than 50 and injuring at least 200 people, is another shocking atrocity. The targeting of critical infrastructure and those seeking shelter as winter looms is unconscionable. The United States stands firmly with Ukraine

One year ago, I visited a refugee camp near the border of Sudan. I remember thinking, how could this possibly get worse? And yet, the violence and devastation has only increased. We must do more to bring about an end to this horrific war.

Rachel and Jon Goldberg-Polin insisted that the world know their son as a person. Not only where he was, but who he was. Why his fate, and the fate of hundreds of hostages, mattered. And why the fate of thousands upon thousands of innocent Palestinians mattered.
