00:13This is a once in a generation moment for the collective security of our continent.
00:20Only a lasting peace in Ukraine that safeguards its sovereignty
00:24will deter Putin from further aggression in the future.

00:35if there is a lasting peace agreement.
00:39But there must be a US backstop because a US security guarantee
00:46is the only way to effectively deter Russia from attacking Ukraine again.

01:00and to discuss what we see as the key elements of a lasting peace.
