People in Ukraine are dying because of Iran & North Korea’s support to Putin’s brutal war. In cooperation with Allies & partners, we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to disrupt & delay transfers of weapons & impose costs on actors engaged in this activity.

One year ago, we engaged in extensive diplomacy to try to prevent Russian aggression against Ukraine. Putin blatantly lied when he said that Russia would not launch an invasion. Today the Kremlin continues spreading lies. We will continue to support Ukraine.

The U.S. has delivered enough generators to #Chernihiv, Ukraine to power all of the city’s public schools — allowing 13,000 children to attend well-lit and heated schools even as Putin continues his brutal attacks.
Despite Russia’s continuing strikes and the need to use the school’s bomb shelter, students are able to continue their studies in a heated and well-lit environment.
