Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be sustained to safeguard our collective security.

I just had a conversation with the President of the United States. We discussed our shared goal of winning this war. We can and must make this year the year of victory. It's important to emphasize that this is not just a Russian war against Ukraine and Europe, but a war against democracy. We need to liberate all Ukrainian territory from Russian occupation and ensure long-term security with strong guarantees.

What does your colleague from the US think about our status? It's challenging not to pursue NATO membership. We’re saddened by the situation, and Britain has always supported your NATO aspirations. However, with 30 nations in NATO, gaining unanimous agreement is difficult. We've been committed to helping you prepare for NATO membership over the past five years, and we regret the current circumstances. We want to ensure you are not pressured into recognizing Crimea as part of Russia. It’s important that you remain free from Russian influence and aggression.

In the past two weeks, we've probably had more progress in ending this war than we have in the past three and a half years. And I think the fact that we're around this table today is is very much symbolic in the sense that it's team Europe and team United States helping Ukraine. And the progress that we're looking out of this meeting is about the security guarantees.

The speaker states that the concept of a neutral Ukraine is no longer relevant. They believe that Ukraine should become a member of NATO to ensure its security.

If Putin attacks a NATO ally, we will defend every part of NATO as required by treaty. It's important to clarify that we do not seek American troops to engage in combat in Russia or against Russia.

I believe Ukraine needs support in the form of weapons and fighter pilots to win the war. We should provide F-16s and training for pilots. I want Ukraine to join NATO by 2024. We should issue an invitation and provide more weapons in December to help them fight in 2025. American-made weapons are being used effectively by the Ukrainians, benefiting both countries.

Russia will remain a dangerous opponent for a long time, and we must include Ukraine in NATO. The only way to have trusting relations with Moscow is through a decisive defeat and a reset in Russia, where the Russian population and politics abandon their deeply rooted imperial, aggressive, and colonial ideas.

We need to continue joint training and exercises under EU and NATO flags in Ukraine. The ultimate security guarantee would be Ukraine joining NATO. Softening support for Ukraine globally is concerning, so we must end the conflict quickly by providing necessary weapons. The Kyiv Security Pact is modeled after the US-Israel security arrangement. NATO should outline a roadmap for Ukrainian membership and provide security guarantees until then. A strong Ukraine is crucial for European stability and addressing global challenges like China.

NATO Allies have increased military support for Ukraine since 2014, with a focus on transitioning to modern NATO standard equipment and building defense institutions. The commitment is to provide assistance for as long as needed.

If Putin attacks a NATO ally, we will defend every part of NATO as required by treaty. It's important to clarify that we do not seek American troops to fight in Russia or against Russia.

When it comes to supporting Ukraine, we need to provide them with the weapons and training they need to win. Retired F-16 pilots are welcome to join the fight. I want Ukraine to be invited to join NATO in 2024. American weapons are being used effectively, and we hope to provide more support in the future.

We must not abandon Ukraine or allow NATO to weaken. It goes against our national interests and the promises we've made. We need Congress to pass funding for NATO as soon as possible.

The Alaska Summit reinforced my belief that while difficult pieces within reach, I believe that in a very significant step, President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine, and this is one of the key points that we need to consider. We're going to be considering that at the table, also, like who will do what, essentially. I'm optimistic that collectively we can reach an agreement.

I spoke with Volodymyr Zelenskyy this morning and assured him that Ukraine's path to NATO membership is now irreversible. This position directly opposes recent statements made by President Trump and his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, who have repeatedly dismissed the possibility of Ukraine joining the military alliance.

Supporting Ukraine is crucial for us because they are fighting a war that we are not involved in. It is important to engage in dialogue with our American colleagues and friends as they share the same interest. Supporting Ukraine is a cost-effective measure to ensure that Russia, under its current regime, does not pose a threat to the NATO alliance. This support must be continued to safeguard our interests.

We are preparing for a counter offensive with Ukraine that we have been planning for 4 or 5 months. At the same time, we are starting talks with the Ukrainian government and officials in Kyiv about the country's future.

Speaker 0 states he wanted Ukraine, not Russia, to join NATO. He felt Ukraine needed to be in the EU and NATO. Speaker 1 brings up that Secretary of State Baker primed Gorbachev in the early nineties not to expand NATO. Speaker 0 responds that times change and the United States must be flexible and adjust to the times, which is why there is strong support for Speaker 1's country now. Speaker 1 says it doesn't matter what Baker primed Gorbachev with in the past, and that we have to see what is going on now.

Ukraine has officially applied for NATO membership, and the question is whether NATO is ready to consider their application. NATO states that every democracy in Europe has the right to apply for membership, and they respect Ukraine's right to choose its own security arrangements. However, the decision on membership needs to be taken by all 30 Allies through consensus. Currently, NATO's main focus is providing immediate support to Ukraine in defending itself against the Russian invasion.

So we spent a lot of time talking about NATO. First, I do wanna remind people that Ukraine and the NATO alliance have built a strong partnership. Ukraine is the only non NATO nation supporting every NATO mission. In Afghanistan and Iraq, Ukrainian troops are helping to support young democracies. In Kosovo, Ukrainians are help keep the peace. Ukraine now seeks to deepen its cooperation with the NATO alliance through a membership action plan. Your nation has made a bold decision, and The United States strongly supports your request. In Bucharest this week, I will continue to make America's position clear. We support MAP for Ukraine and Georgia. Helping Ukraine move toward NATO membership is in the interest of every member in the alliance and will help advance security and freedom in this region and around the world.

Ukraine has a strong partnership with NATO, supporting every NATO mission and helping in various peacekeeping efforts. They now seek to deepen their cooperation through a membership action plan, which the United States strongly supports. The US will make its position clear in Bucharest, advocating for MAP for Ukraine and Georgia. This move is in the interest of all alliance members and will enhance security and freedom in the region and globally.

My colleagues and I are impressed by the courage and bravery of Ukraine. We have a good relationship with the Netherlands and we are committed to supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes. Ukraine's fight for survival is crucial for the future of Europe.

I am discussing the importance of defending sovereignty and territorial integrity, specifically in Ukraine, with our NATO allies on the eastern flank. This moment is crucial for upholding the guiding principles of the NATO alliance.

I believe we should support Ukraine by providing weapons and training for their pilots. We need to issue an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO in 2024. A military-centric supplemental in December will provide more American-made weapons to aid Ukraine in their fight for freedom. This support will help Ukraine in 2025.

I am more encouraged about Ukraine's unity and resolve for 2024 and its strategic importance. I am also confident that Ukraine will have strong success this year, surprising Mr. Putin on the battlefield. Thank you.
