With Putin’s help, Assad has systematically murdered an estimated 1 million Syrians since the 2011 Syrian Revolution M. Night Shyamalan

In 1994, with the signing of the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine denuclearized in exchange for guarantees from Russia, the US, and the UK for sovereign borders and independence. Ukraine has lived up to its commitments. The guarantors have not.

For the first time ever, Iran can be considered an active participant in a war on the European continent. Tehran’s decision to provide material support to Moscow represents a critical juncture in Iran’s hostilities toward the West. (1/2)

Eastern Ukraine is home to more than 70% of Ukraine's mineral wealth. If Ukraine were forced to cede the Fortress Belt region of Donetsk to Russia at the negotiating table, Russia would gain access to significant natural resources and energy reserves. (1/2)

.Senator Roger Wicker: I call on the Biden administration to sanction the leaders of Georgian Dream including Bidzina Ivanishvili, Kakha Kaladze, and Prime Minister Kobakhidze.

Russia has aided Iran through intelligence sharing, drone technology, and tactical guidance. Innovations Russia refined in Ukraine are now reshaping Iranian strike patterns. This partnership has become a defining feature of the emerging axis arrayed against the United States.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Russia, with the assistance of Belarus, has built an entire system to kidnap Ukrainian children, brainwash them, and raise them as soldiers. This is not only a crime against humanity but a clear sign that Russia is planning on waging further wars of aggression.

Ukraine has spent the last decade pouring time, money, and resources into reinforcing its Fortress Belt and establishing significant defensive infrastructure. This region is essential to ensure Ukraine maintains a geographically defensible frontline. (1/2)

There’s a very important connection between Russian empire and the way the United States has thought about the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Long before Vladimir Putin launched his full-scale invasion in Ukraine, he perfected his methods of torturing and decimating civilians with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. With Putin’s support, Assad has killed 1 million civilians.

Russia's economy is weaker than Putin wants the world to believe. Maintaining economic pressure is crucial to stopping Russia's devastating violence in Ukraine.

When Lithuania decided leave China’s 17+1 Initiative and deepen ties with Taiwan, China responded with economic coercion. Vilnius warns that democracies must reduce their strategic dependencies to protect their independence. (1/2)

Vladimir Putin will expand his despotic reach as far as we allow. Pushing back forcefully against the suppression of the Georgian people will demonstrate our resolve against authoritarian capture in Georgia and beyond.

Russia and Belarus are militarizing abducted Ukrainian children, brainwashing them to become soldiers in their wars. They erase their Ukrainian identity and send them back into the occupied territories to kill their own people.

There's a direct link between what Russia has done in Syria &amp; its actions in Ukraine. In both cases, we see disrespect for sovereignty, human rights &amp; the rule of law. Justice &amp; accountability aren't abstract ideals—they're foundations upon which a just &amp; peaceful world is built

🇷🇺 While waging his genocidal war in Ukraine, Putin is using asymmetric and gray zone warfare tactics against NATO. Russia is attacking us with the same playbook they used during the Soviet Union—disinformation, espionage, and targeted assassinations.

While dictatorships like Russia and Iran share information and resources, democracies are falling behind in strengthening wartime coordination. Hear Steve Cohen's call for the West to integrate Ukraine's hard-won drone expertise and capabilities into its collective defense:

Why has it taken so long for the world to recognize that Russia is intent on committing genocide in Ukraine? As Timothy Snyder explained, Russia’s wide-reaching &amp; effective worldwide propaganda apparatus is unique among historical perpetrators of genocide.

Chairman Wicker: “All Ukrainians will be worse off if Russia is emboldened to pursue its imperial agenda. Belarus presents a striking example of Russia’s goals in the region—the annexation of a state in all but name.” (1/2)

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sybiha: There can be no alternative to justice. Russia must be held accountable for the crime of aggression against Ukraine, and all atrocities that follow, including the crime of genocide. 🧵1/4
