Folks, I just came by to say thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And what you're always doing, you know. 1 percent of you represent the entire of the Americans, 99 percent of the rest of the country, including me, thank you…

I don’t think you’ll find any European leader who thinks that I am not up to the job. The next election, I’d be very fortunate if I had that same man running against me.

My objective is to demonstrate that democracies cannot function in the 21st century.

The single most important thing that we can do from the outset is keep the democracies united in our opposition and our effort to curtail the devastation that is occurring at the hands of a man who, quite frankly, I think is a war criminal…

We would respond. And we would respond if he uses it and the nature of the response will depend on the nature of the use.

Putin was banking on NATO being split. My early conversation with him in December and early January, it was clear to me he didn’t think we could sustain this cohesion. NATO has never, never been more united than it is today. Putin is…

We would respond, we will respond if he uses it. The nature of the response would depend on the nature of the use.

I came for one simple basic reason, not a joke, to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you for your service. Thank you for who you are. And thank you for what you're doing.

The Biden administration has announced it's going to allow 100,000 Ukrainian refugees into the U.S.

Both Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat. We talked about urging all the European countries and everyone else to and trade restrictions on sending limitations on sending food abroad. And so we are in…

The very thing that Putin has tried to do from the beginning, and I’ve been saying this since my days as Vice President of the United States, is to break up NATO.

He now sees, this war, in Ukraine, as an attack, not only on the people of Ukraine, but on the concept of democracy, as a governing philosophy.

I`ll say the most important fading, it`s for us to stay unified, and the world continue to focus on what a brute this guy is and of all the innocent lives being lost and ruined, and what`s going on. That`s the important thing.

I did not say that, In fact, the sanctions would deter him. Sanctions never deter. You keep talking about that. Sanctions never deter. The maintenance of sanctions, the maintenance of sanctions, the increasing the pain. That`s what will…

This is part of the reason, why Americans have - why we've sort of come to understand that Putin may have taken this step, because he thought that we were not unified.

If chemical weapons are used against defenseless civilians, they would cause absolutely catastrophic casualties, children, old people, you name it, and that we would enter the war on the part of Ukraine if this happened, that ought to be a…

It would -- it would trigger a response in kind, whether or not you are asking if NATO would cross, we would make that decision at the time.
