Meanwhile our leadership is talking about "no indication of the US leaving NATO".
REPORTER: Are you gonna make it US policy that the US wouldn't defend NATO countries that don't pay their fair share?

Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity are unconditional.
Our priority must now be strengthening Ukraine and providing robust security guarantees.
In any negotiation, Europe must have a central role.
