"More than 20 months after Putin began his brutal, criminal invasion, Ukraine remains on the frontlines of democracy. During today's meeting, I reiterated my support for Ukraine, and how I will continue working with my colleagues to ensure we provide our Ukrainian friends with the resources and equipment necessary to prevail against Russian tyranny. I also expressed my support to Ambassador Hautala regarding Finland's formal entry into NATO. In the face of one of the greatest transatlantic security threats in a generation, we are sending a clear message to Putin: the NATO alliance is strong."
