Always great to see @SenatorWicker, a principled and passionate leader on democracy, human rights, and the rule of law — and a very clear voice in opposition to Putin’s dictatorship. Thank you for your continued efforts to stand up for what’s right.

Amb. Collins was our chargé d'affaires in Moscow in 1991 as USSR fell apart. Mr. Merry is the author of a 1994 dissent cable arguing US should focus on democratic institutions in Russia; predicted (presciently) that otherwise Russia will turn adversarial. https://t.co/4A80eWYgAU

Belarus is an active participant in Russia’s shadow war against the West. Lukashenka has long used a variety of tactics to destabilize his democratic neighbors, including weaponizing migration, and now he’s using balloons carrying cigarettes to shut down Lithuania’s airports.

As Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine enters its 5th year, Kyiv is struggling to supply its troops & lacks the resources to strike military targets deep inside Russia. However, Ukraine is home to an innovative defense industrial sector that is producing below capacity. (1/2)

December 7, 1941, is a day that "will live in infamy." Today we face the most dangerous national security environment since then. Eternal vigilance and a strong defense industrial base are the only way to make sure we continue to be free. Never forget!

Few foreign affairs priorities enjoy as much bipartisan support as targeting Russian war criminals in Ukraine, pursuing them around the world, & bringing them to justice. Yesterday, @NPU_GOV_UA briefed @HelsinkiComm on gathering the evidence needed to prosecute these criminals.
