The Ukrainians don't have the military means to stand up to Russia, but we haven't helped them militarily, either.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
U.S. adversaries exploit power gaps. It's easier for Russia to invade Ukraine with irregular forces out of uniform, the so-called 'little green men,' than to send a conventional army that would challenge NATO.
I ask you, people who care about the soul of Ukraine, those who want to preserve the heart, the spirit and the faith of our country for future generations, to please defend it.
Those who really value Ukrainian sovereignty should opt for real independence and a positive neutrality: neither a plaything of the West nor Moscow.
The Ukraine has a long history of either being part of the Soviet Union or within that sphere.
In my view, Russia has not been a particularly collaborative player on the world stage.
Russia isn't likely to have any more military success in Syria and Iraq than has the United States.
President Yanukovych, the deposed president, essentially, he gutted the Ukrainian military. And so I think we could provide some more assistance to them in that regard.
Russia is not a friendly character on the world stage.
Everyone in my country understands that Russia cannot do without Europe and that, vice versa, Europe cannot do without Russia. We depend on cooperation.
Georgia does not need Russia as an enemy.
