Victoria Nuland: “We agree with you, Senator Shaheen, that Finland and Sweden are ready to join NATO now.”

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.

Our engagement since has focused on restoring the promise of that 2019 revolution and supporting a civilian-led transition to democracy and civilian rule.

I think we would welcome a stronger partnership between the Executive and the Congress.

It is on me. It will not happen again. I apologize.
