President. I had the privilege of joining Senators SHAHEEN. KLOBUCHAR. and WARREN during the recess that just concluded to travel to Europe to assess the refugee flow that is spilling into Greece and ongoing Russian aggression during our visit to Ukraine. I will start with the visit to one of our most important NATO European allies. Greece. Greece is struggling. as we all know. with its own economic challenges. but now it is facing an overwhelming flow of refugees across its border. Almost half a million refugees have flown into Greece just this year. The bulk of the refugees come from across the Aegean Sea from Turkey. They are fleeing war and economic instability in the region. Most are from Syria. but there are many others from Afghanistan.
