We and our partners continue to make clear to the warring parties led by these two generals that there can be no military solution to this crisis and negotiations are the only way forward.
I believe and I believe the--all of us believe that if we define winning as Ukraine surviving and thriving as a cleaner, democratic state, it can and it must and it will with our help.
