That's what we're trying to achieve here.

So what can Ukraine agree to, given all the dynamics that I've just described, and what will Russia agree to?”

protect Ukraine's long-standing and long-term sovereignty and independence so that they don't become a puppet state, they're actually independent and sovereign, and allow their economy not just to recover, but to prosper, and turn it into a story of prosperity.

but to prosper as a country, be a country that has an economy that grows. Theoretically, doing the right things, in 10 years, Ukraine's GDP could be larger than Russia's.

These are the kinds of things. Stop the war, you know, make sure they never get invaded or attacked again

And so what we have tried to do, and I think have made some progress, is figure out what can the Ukrainians live with that gives them security guarantees for the future, that they're never going to be invaded again, allows them not just to rebuild their economy

• And secondly, making sure that the economic sanctions bite, that they are effective. That is also exactly what is happening: the US and Europe working in conjunction to have maximum impact through sanctions on the Russian economy.

That’s the best way to change Putin’s calculus.

Thanks to the US, thanks to the Europeans - the US sending crucial gear to Ukraine, paid for by Canada and European allies - but also Europe and Canada are doing a lot bilaterally.

• One is making sure that the Russians understand that the flow of weapons into Ukraine will keep going. That’s exactly what is happening today.

While in Brussels, Deputy Secretary #Landau will also meet with U.S. businesses to promote President @realDonaldTrump ’s priorities of rebalancing #trade and ensuring a positive business environment in #Europe 🇪🇺 for American 🇺🇸 investment and exports. @USAmbEU @USAmbToBelgium @USAmbNATO

In every interaction the President has with the world, the goal is simple. Is it going to make us
stronger, richer, safer?

If it is, he's for it. If not, he's against it. And everything in foreign policy has been done with the American people in mind!"

This includes offensive and defensive elements. We have 2/3 of the Alliance participating in PURL. 4X — @nato Secretary General Mark Rutte @secgennato

It is very good that the US 🇺🇸 is putting forward proposals. Talks have taken place with the Ukrainian 🇺🇦 side and today with the Russian 🇷🇺 side.

“You need to start somewhere. You need to have proposals on the table. As you know, both in Geneva and two days ago in Miami, talks have been taking place with the Ukrainian 🇺🇦side. Indeed, talks today with the Russian side. So we follow that closely,” @nato Secretary General #MarkRutte said.

And that sort of clarity is transformational.— The greatest Secretary of State in modern history @marcorubio @SecRubio
