Vladimir Kara-Murza: “The Putin regime has been violating these commitments and these principles for years.”

If one-tenth of those sanctions that were imposed over the past two weeks had been imposed a decade ago, we would not be here today.

This regime that is empowering our country today, it's not just corrupt, it's not just kleptocratic. It's not just authoritarian. It is a regime of murderers.

This is not only about restoring international stability and restoring peace in the middle of Europe, but it`s also about saving our own country saving Russia from this paranoid, deranged and dangerous strongmen.

And we know from history how the appeasement of dictators ends. It always ends the same way.
