»Die ukrainische Bevölkerung schaut auf uns. Der Kreml schaut auf uns. Und die Geschichte schaut auf uns. Also werden wir nicht nachlassen«

We're meeting at a turbulent time. 

But, if you look around this table, you see the resolve and the unity of this Contact Group. Some 50 countries have stepped up to help Ukraine defend itself and deter future threats. When Putin launched his reckless and unprovoked invasion 11 months ago, he thought that Ukraine would just collapse. And he thought that the world would just look away.

But Putin didn't count on the courage of the Ukrainian people. And he didn't count on the skill of the Ukrainian military. And he didn't count on you—on everyone on-screen and around this table. But we need to keep up our momentum and resolve. And we need to dig even deeper. 

This is a decisive moment for Ukraine, in a decisive decade for the world. So make no mistake. We will support Ukraine's self-defense for as long as it takes.
