Ukrainian people will not let Putin prevail, and neither will we. As President Biden has said, we will not walk away. Now, Putin hoped to isolate Ukraine. Instead, he left himself alone with Iran and North Korea. That’s a far cry from the some 50 nations of goodwill from all around the world who gathered again today. Our allies and partners are here because they understand the stakes. That’s why we recently announced more U.S. security assistance for Ukraine valued at up to $300 million. And our allies and partners continue to step up. And the United States must also. Today, Ukraine’s survival is in danger. And America’s security is at risk. And they don’t have — they don’t have a day to waste. And we don’t have a day to spare either. So I leave here today fully determined to keep us security assistance and ammunition flowing. And that’s a matter of survival and sovereignty for Ukraine. And it’s a matter of honor and security for America. And make no mistake, Putin is watching. The world is watching. And history is watching.
