"Why did the United States resettle only 12 Ukrainian refugees in March?" Reuters questioned in a headline on April 12.

More than 4 million people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries since Russia launched special military operations on February 24, according to United Nations data, setting off Europe's most volatile refugee crisis since the end of World War II, Reuter reported.

Facing growing criticism and pressure from refugee advocates, the Biden administration said on March 24 that the US would use "the full range of legal pathways" to accept up to 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing the war.

This figure stands in stark contrast to the role of the US in stoking the flames in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

For decades, the US has, in fact, repeatedly waged wars abroad that have resulted in numerous refugees. Yet when it comes to resettling them, the US strategically passes the buck. The plight of the refugees shows that the US, while branding itself as a so-called "defender" of human rights, is actually their greatest "violator," observers said.
