Congressional resolution to condemn Russia for taking Ukrainian children

Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova tries to stop Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) (far left) from opening a gift with his teeth prior to a press conference condemning Russia for kidnapping Ukrainian children. Rep. Panetta was trying to open a package holding a blue and yellow angel in honor of the thousands of children Russia has taken since the war began. The efforts to erase the children's Ukrainian identity led the International Criminal Court to charge Vladimir Putin with war crimes in late 2022. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
