"Minsk remains a goal worth fighting for because the alternatives for Ukraine are bleak."

"I think our European allies, Germany and France, are working very hard, but I think that the United States should be engaged there as well."

"Putin's vision and his long-term goals and intentions, I think, have been very clearly stated and had not changed."

"Ukraine needs serious military aid and assistance to be able to defend its territory and to push back against these Russia-backed separatists."
