**Background**
The war in Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of the country. The invasion was met with widespread condemnation from the international community, and the United States and its allies have imposed severe sanctions on Russia.
The war has caused a humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, with millions of people displaced and in need of food, water, and shelter. The United Nations has estimated that more than 10 million people have been displaced within Ukraine, and more than 3 million people have fled to neighboring countries.
The war is also having a significant impact on the global economy. The sanctions imposed on Russia have disrupted the global energy market and led to higher prices for oil and gas. The war is also putting pressure on global food supplies, as Ukraine is a major exporter of wheat and other grains.
The war in Ukraine is a major challenge for the Biden administration and its allies. The administration is working to provide support to Ukraine while also trying to avoid a wider conflict with Russia. The war is also a test of the unity of the transatlantic alliance and the ability of the United States and its allies to deter Russian aggression.
