Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin Remarks to Traveling Press APRIL 25, 2022
Where we went at the invitation of President Joe Biden and President of Ukraine Zelensky.
We got to demonstrate our strong support, our strong support for the Government of Ukraine and the people of Ukraine.
The moment we were there was the pivotal moment in our decision.
Talking in detail about the support we provide.
Security, economic, humanitarian, as well as we are putting enormous pressure on Russia.
Antony Bilanken said, "President of Ukraine, Zelensky, without putting words in his mouth, praised America's leadership and the people of America.
" In return, we praised the courage of the people of Ukraine to push back the Russian offensive.
"I've talked to President Zelensky that a new diplomat will be created in Ukraine, which is the intention of President Joe biden," he said.
Bridget Brink, an ambassador with whom I have served for a long time, with vast experience, will be the most important representative of the United States to Ukraine.
Along with Ukraine's success, Russia's brutality in some parts of the country is terrifying.
We have strategised, heavy pressure on Russia and huge support of Ukraine, the solidarity of more than 30 countries engaged in the effort.
This is the reality. And we are seeing Russia failing and Ukraine succeeding when it comes to goals.
Russia's main goal is to take away Ukraine's independence and sovereignty, and to subjugate Ukraine.
Russia has failed in this. Russia is in a shambles as a result of the economy, and massive sanctions.
It is trying to divide the West and NATO.
We are seeing the exact opposite.
Our support with Ukraine will continue until Ukraine is successful in the war.
