William Taylor: “We`re going to support them -- we`re going to support the Ukrainians as they push the Russians out.”

The key -- the key place is on the battlefield in Ukraine, where he is losing, and his troops are not doing well.

What we need to do is put maximum pressure on Putin so that he finally realizes that he cannot win this war.

What will really force him to stand down and to look for a way out is continued Ukrainian success on the battlefield.

We need to maintain support. And other things pull at that attention, just exactly as you have described. It is no less important now than it was two months ago for the Ukrainians to win.
