00:00We're all standing together against this brutal dictator.
00:03As I've argued for months, this is directly,
00:06directly in the United States' national security interest.
00:09If Putin triumphs in Ukraine,
00:12the next move of Russian forces could very well be
00:15a direct attack on a NATO ally.
00:17And you all know full well that invoking Article 5
00:21of the North Atlantic Treaty would be the first thing
00:23that comes to mind, which declares an attack on one
00:27is an attack on all.
00:28If Putin attacks a NATO ally like he's attacking Ukraine today,
00:32we'd have no choice but to come to their aid,
00:35just like our NATO allies came to our aid
00:38after the September 11th attacks here.
00:40That's why we're supporting and surging support now to Ukraine
00:45to stop Putin from drawing the United States
00:47into a war in Europe and in the future.
