Former Pres. Obama calls war in Ukraine a 'tragedy of historic proportions' and a 'reminder for democracies that have gotten flabby, and confused and feckless around the stakes of things that we tended to take for granted.'
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dymtro Kuleba said his country had a"simple" agenda for Thursday's NATO meeting.
"So we are providing support, but, at the same time, working hard to prevent the escalation of the conflict," Stoltenberg said."We are confident that the best way to help Ukraine now is to provide it with all necessary to contain [Russian President Vladimir] Putin, and to defeat Russian army in Ukraine, in the territory of Ukraine, so that the war does not spill over further," Kuleba said.
Former President Barack Obama weighed in on the Ukraine-Russia conflict Wednesday during his appearance at the Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy conference and called the war a"tragedy of historic proportions.”
