"It would be a mistake to just put a plaster on the wound, because the end result would be that Putin would rearm with direct or indirect Chinese help and come back in five years". - Ambassador Barrett's full interview with Luxemburger Wort --> https://lnkd.in/erppggiC #StandWithUkraine

Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, and Alsu Kurmasheva are now on their way back to the United States from Russia. Through the extraordinary efforts of countless people in the State Department and across our government, the United States was able to strike an agreement to secure their freedom, as well as that of Vladimir Kara-Murza and twelve others held prisoner inside Russia. Under President Biden’s leadership, we have secured the release of dozens of Americans who were held hostage or wrongfully detained. My pledge to the families of those still separated from their families is the same that I made to those returning home today. We will not forget you, and we will not rest until you see your loved ones again. - Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken
