* The mission plays an important support role in overseeing funding to the international organizations with which it works.
* After Russia?s February 2022 full scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia?s campaign of disinformation and disruptive behavior in conference sessions combined with the U.S. ?no business as usual? policy, complicated efforts in all policy areas, adding to workload pressures for the mission.
