Victoria Nuland: “These are absolutely the most vital elections Ukraine has had in recent history.”

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

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

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

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.
