Russia has killed thousands in #Ukraine and caused extraordinary damage. Last week, I returned from a humanitarian mission with @UkraineFocus to #Donetsk where war dominates life. Here a Ukrainian fighter, a damaged school, a destroyed market, and people struggling to survive.

An oil tanker with 50-60 million gallons of oil is currently sinking in the Gulf of Paria. That's 5x more than the Exxon Valdez spill. The Venezuelan government is denying any problems. If the world doesn't act now, this will be one of the biggest disasters ever.
