HAPPENING NOW!!!
"The bottom line is this. We want Ukraine to win!!" Blinken says in Kyiv
"We remain fully committed to Ukraine's victory — to not only ensuring that Ukraine can defend itself today, but can stand on its own feet strongly, militarily, economically, democratically for many, many days ahead to securing the path the Ukrainian people have chosen toward greater integration in the Euro-Atlantic community, including the EU and NATO, to getting a just and lasting peace

Blinken: "Our support will not wane. Our unity will not break. Putin will not outlast the coalition of countries committed to Ukraine's success, and he is certainly not going to outlast the Ukrainian people."
"They've never wavered in their belief that they and they alone will decide their future. Now we have challenging moments. This is a challenging moment as well, with an expansion of attacks from Russia, humbling Ukrainian cities, citizens infrastructure with monstrous brutality, and now Putin's further empowering his aggression with the acquisition of Iranian ballistic missiles. So we're working with urgency to continue to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to effectively defend itself"

Blinken: "G7 partners agreed to deliver $50 billion from Russia's frozen assets to pay for Ukraine's reconstruction and defense, and we're working to meet that commitment, to operationalize it, and we, our allies, will continue to impose costs on countries that support Russia's war machine"
