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.

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.

Speaker emphasizes the importance of supporting Ukraine for national security. They urge to stop complaining about Trump and focus on increasing defense spending. Stressing the significance of a strong NATO alliance for security, they highlight the need to work with the US president, regardless of who it may be. The speaker underscores the mutual interest of the US in a robust NATO.

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.

Ukraine is hitting legitimate targets and the U.S. is supporting that. Ukraine will not be safe unless Crimea is at a minimum demilitarized. The speaker will not prejudge how Ukraine chooses to deal with Crimea in the short, medium, or long term. The U.S. recognizes Crimea as Ukraine.

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.

We are actively discussing how to support Ukraine, having recently engaged with Ukrainian leadership, including President Zelensky. We have provided over $10 billion in aid, including military equipment like drones, armored vehicles, guns, and ammunition. We will continue to support Ukraine by purchasing necessary equipment on the international market. Our commitment to Ukraine is unwavering as we stand by our allies in the face of Russian aggression.

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.

NATO and allies like the US, Canada, UK, and Turkey have long supported Ukraine with equipment and training. After Russia's invasion, support has increased with billions in weapons and aid. NATO's focus is on protecting allies and preventing further escalation of the war. Russia's aggression was anticipated, given past actions like the invasion of Georgia and annexation of Crimea. NATO has been preparing since Russia's first invasion of Ukraine in 2014, increasing defense spending and deploying modern capabilities.

We are strengthening our political relationship with the NATO Ukraine Council, working together to make decisions. Ukraine will become a member of NATO, it's just a matter of time. NATO will support Ukraine for security reasons as we prepare for that day.

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.

People of Ukraine, this is your moment. It's about the future you want and deserve for your country. A future in Europe, a future of peace with all your neighbors. The free world, America, and I stand with you. Your destiny lies in Europe.

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.

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.

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.

Aiding Ukraine is the most cost-effective way for the US to enhance its security as the Ukrainians are the ones fighting and dying. The US and Europe provide them with weapons to resist Putin. Having been to Kyiv twice, it is clear that Ukraine is a European country with a strong desire to align with the West. It would be astonishing if the US were to abandon Ukraine at this crucial time.

A year ago, Putin invaded Ukraine, aiming to weaken the U.S. and challenge Western dominance. Instead, the brave Ukrainians, with our help, have decimated nearly half of Russia's military. Supporting Ukraine is in our best interest and a worthy investment. We've provided effective weapons while maintaining strict oversight. This support sends a strong message to China and ensures our own military readiness with American-made equipment. The Ukrainian heroes have defended their homeland, serving the free world. Now, we must honor our commitment and provide them with the arms they need to win.
