00:22I am not here as a politician, I am here as a soldier who understands service.
00:30As a humanitarian who has seen the human cost of conflict, and as a friend of Ukraine who
00:36believes the world must not grow used to this war or numb to its consequences.
00:42When some are striving to dismantle democracy, the many should continue to speak up, to be
00:49heard, to be counted, and to be the loudest voice, choosing life and freedom.
00:56For we know there can be devastating consequences of silence, delay, and lack of accountability.
01:04The United States has a singular role in this story.
01:08Not only because of its power, but because when Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons, America
01:13was part of the assurance that Ukraine's sovereignty and borders would be respected.
01:19This is a moment for American leadership, a moment for America to show that it can honor
01:25its international treaty obligations.
01:27not out of charity, but out of its own enduring role in global security and strategic stability.
