- Ukraine does not ask, it offers. Alliance and partnership. The best army in Europe. Advanced defense technologies. Experience of resilience. We say, “We need the EU.” Yes. But it needs us just as much. And everyone recognizes this. And they recognize Ukraine as such. Not as a poor relative, but as a strong ally.

- Ukraine is heard, Ukraine is respected, Ukraine is listened to. Its place is at the table; it is not told, “Wait outside the door.” It is told, “The decision is yours alone.”

- Today, both the US and Europe agree: Ukraine has not yet won, but it is definitely not losing.
