"We must continue to defend Europe against Russia's attempts to undermine rule of law, democracy, and sovereignty."

"Russian-backed protracted conflicts in countries like Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia are incompatible with our strategic interest in a prosperous and peaceful Europe."

"We need to convince our European allies that they should not just merely extend European sanctions on the Russian Federation; they need to expand them as we have."

"I think that there is no coincidence that the act of war started when they were unable to control the political side of things as Ukraine was moving toward EU membership."
