Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 8, 2024
Not with the significance and severity of this moment, for a couple of reasons. One, because all of the world is engaged in watching or in supporting. As I mentioned before, 50 nations are contributing munitions, financial support to Ukraine's fight. This is as global a fight as we have had since--well, the Second World War. And the clarity of the aggression by Russia against a sovereign, peaceful nation that in no way precipitated this conflict is as sharp and clear as any conflict in our lifetime. I cannot imagine the consequences for our reputation, not just at a conference in Europe but in history, were we to abandon Ukraine now.
