Transcripts
keep in mind Putin has already lost in
what he was trying to achieve he was
trying to erase Ukraine from the map and
its independence subsume it into Russia
that has already been a failure now
where exactly this settles where lines
are drawn that is going to be up to
ukrainians but I found a strong
determination to continue to work to get
their their territory back that's been
seized by Russia and as to negotiations
John
um it takes two to tango sure and thus
far we see no indication that Vladimir
Putin has any interest in meaningful
diplomacy if uh he does I think the
ukrainians will be the first to engage
and we'll be right behind them everyone
wants this Ward end but it has to end on
just terms and on durable terms that
reflect uh Ukraine's sovereignty and
territorial integrity
John we we haven't encouraged and we
haven't enabled uh any uh use of weapons
outside of Ukraine's territory
um
having said that let's take a step back
for a second
virtually every single day
the Russians are attacking
indiscriminately throughout the entire
country of Ukraine just during the 48
hours that I was there going in more
missiles were launched include at
civilian targets uh including in in Kiev
while I was there a horrific attack on a
Marketplace
people just going to to buy food
um civilians had nothing to do with this
war killed 17 people this is the daily
life for ukrainians uh this is what they
face every single day so they have to
make the basic decisions about how
they're going to defend their territory
and how they're working to take back
what's been seized from them our role
the role of dozens of other countries
around the world that are supporting
them is to help them do that and
ultimately what we all want is an end to
this Russian aggression and an end to
the aggression that again is just and is
durable that's what ukrainians want more
than anyone else that's what we're
working toward it's very clear in the
room going around the table that
countries are feeling the consequences
and want the Russian aggression to stop
and I think the statement reflects the
strong support that virtually every
country in the G20 has for Ukraine and
its territorial integrity and
sovereignty
