NATO tells Putin to 'immediately stop this war', calls out China, Belarus: LIVE UPDATES

It has been two humiliating days for Russia at the United Nations. On Thursday, a vote on a humanitarian draft resolution on Ukraine in the General Assembly sponsored by South Africa failed on a matter of procedure. 

While not authored by Russia, Ukraine’s ambassador called the South African effort the "twin brother" of Russia’s failed text that only received the support of China at a vote Wednesday at the U.N. Security Council.

Thursday’s United Nations General Assembly votes were originally intended for a Ukraine-sponsored humanitarian resolution that, among other things, condemned Russia’s invasion and called for unhindered humanitarian assistance to those in need in Ukraine, including the protection of civilians and the respect of human rights.

Médecins Sans Frontières, otherwise known as Doctors Without Borders, has been on the ground in Ukraine since 1999, according to their director, Dr. Carrie Teicher, who spoke to me on SiriusXM’s "Doctor Radio." 

Teicher, a public health specialist, told me that their previous work had focused on chronic infectious diseases and that they are using connections they have made with the Ukraine’s Ministry of Health to provide as much support as possible for the current humanitarian crisis.

"When we think about humanitarian needs and humanitarian medical needs in a conflict we look at what resources are there and I think one of the things that we have been very clear at seeing that we need is some increased support or rather us providing support to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and medical authorities on mass casualty training. It’s very different when you are running -- think about your urgent care here in the United States if suddenly it needed to be transformed -- your Emergency Room, your ED, to deal with mass casualties of intentional injuries of conflict. And so, that in and of itself is an entire portfolio of work that has to be done," she said.

EXCLUSIVE: PONTE VEDRA, FLA.—The top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, and the head of the GOP cybersecurity task force, Rep. John Katko, that he would be "very surprised" if Russia does not carry out a cyber attack against the United States, warning that the Biden administration is "not doing anything" to prevent attacks.

Biden, on Monday, warned that U.S. officials have collected "evolving intelligence" to suggest that the Russian government is exploring options for potential cyberattacks against the United States amid its multi-front war against Ukraine.

Katko, R-N.Y., on the sidelines of the House Republican Issues Conference, said it is "good" that Biden is warning Americans, noting that a cyberattack from Russia could be "quite severe."

"Assume there is a heightened chance of that happening, given Russia has got their backs agains the wall and things aren’t going well in Ukraine," Katko told Fox News. "Assume that that is probably going to happen, and act accordingly."

President Biden suggested Thursday that sanctions were not meant to deter the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, telling reporters now that "sanctions never deter." 

"Sir, deterrence didn’t work. What makes you think Vladimir Putin will alter course based on the action you’ve taken today," Biden was asked during a press conference at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium.

"Let's get something straight," Biden responded. "You remember, if you covered me from the very beginning, I did not say that in fact the sanctions would deter him. Sanctions never deter. You keep talking about that. Sanctions never deter."

President Biden on Thursday said he believes that China’s desire to be competitively engaged on the global market will deter it from aiding Russian President Vladimir Putin during his deadly war in Ukraine. 

"China understands that its economic future is much more closely tied to the West than it is to Russia," Biden told reporters speaking from a NATO summit in Brussels. "And so I'm hopeful that he does not get engaged."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spelled out the damage the Russian invasion has done to the country, claiming in a social media post Thursday that it has claimed the lives of over 100 children.

“In a month of the war, 4379 houses were destroyed. 6.5 million Ukrainians left their homes. Thousands were killed, including 121 children," Zelenskyy said.

The comments come as President Biden traveled to Europe to meet with NATO leaders to discuss next steps for the response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine accused Russia of forcing nearly half a million civilians from battered Ukrainian cities to Russia, where Ukrainian officials fear they could be held hostage and used to pressure the government to give up their defense of the country.

Ukraine claims that the Russians have taken 402,000 people, which includes 84,000 children, to Russia against their will, according to reporting from the Associated Press.

But Russia claims that the people it has evacuated to Russian territory wanted to be in Russia, noting that many of the people are from predominately Russian-speaking regions that have been controlled by rebel groups since 2014.

President Biden on Thursday said the United States response to Russia’s potential use of chemical weapons would "trigger a response in kind," but said the type of response would depend on "the nature of the use."

During a press conference in Brussels, Belgium after Biden participated in an emergency NATO meeting to discuss international efforts to support Ukraine and punish Russia for its invasion, he was pressed on if the United States has collected intelligence that suggests the Kremlin is moving to deploy chemical weapons."We would respond," Biden said.

"We would respond if he uses it."

President Biden said Thursday when asked about the effects of sanctions on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine said “sanctions never deter, the maintenance of sanctions, the increasing the pain... why I asked for this NATO meeting today is to be sure that after a month we will sustain what we are doing, not just next month, the following month but for the remainder of this entire year.  

“That is what will stop him,” Biden said, referring to Putin. 

“The single most important thing is for us to stay unified and the world continue to focus on what a brute this guy is and all the innocent people’s lives are being lost and ruined and what is going on,” Biden added.
