They defied the facts and worse. 15:39.780 --> 15:40.890 There are an indicator. 15:41.970 --> 15:44.270 Of the dish and jenny worse. 15:44.990 --> 15:46.370 A dissembling. 15:47.340 --> 15:49.960 The policy it complete faction. 15:50.510 --> 15:55.410 That is being pursuit in an effort to pursue their own all goals 15:55.440 --> 15:56.360 and their own hands. 15:57.280 --> 16:00.760 The russians claim the government in Kiev is a la. Illegitimate. 16:02.930 --> 16:06.610 But It's a government they came to power. 16:07.940 --> 16:11.690 We're a move that super majority of the raw that of voting for 16:11.690 --> 16:12.590 it.

No evidence at all. That russia is actually 17:12.080 --> 17:16.350 pressured any of these troops in order to release any these people 17:16.380 --> 17:17.470 or change course. 17:18.250 --> 17:19.580 I I I you know. 17:20.620 --> 17:23.160 I say this with a certain element of sorrow. 17:24.290 --> 17:27.320 Because of all of the effort energy there's been extended to 17:27.320 --> 17:31.610 drive creator structure by which we were dave all of us differently. 17:32.450 --> 17:36.310 Representing the best hopes and aspirations of all people on 17:36.310 --> 17:37.320 the face of this planet. 17:38.080 --> 17:41.940 That's what all of our predecessors worked. So hard to achieve. 17:42.580 --> 17:46.270 Setting up a structure rule of law the international war and 17:46.270 --> 17:50.350 multilateral mechanisms by which we try to resolve the senses differences. 17:51.160 --> 17:53.620 So as a result for all of these reasons. 17:54.250 --> 17:57.510 Yesterday in the United States announced again president father 17:57.560 --> 18:02.000 announce additional sanctions on more russian individuals entities. 18:02.770 --> 18:06.310 And we've also restricted asked for licenses for high tech items 18:06.710 --> 18:10.770 that could be used to bolster a Russia's military capabilities. 18:11.440 --> 18:15.340 Now the steps and other steps that we are partners is taken over 18:15.340 --> 18:16.360 the past few months. 18:17.040 --> 18:21.310 Are all right before she russian to pay a steep rise for its efforts. 18:21.910 --> 18:23.770 To create this instability. 18:24.830 --> 18:27.880 Add a name that that you do set to look at the ratings of the 18:27.880 --> 18:31.600 violence you look at the That capital outflow you look at the 18:31.820 --> 18:35.860 GT numbers that are trending downwards uh. This is having a. 18:36.740 --> 18:41.140 And as long as russia decides to continue to fan the flames rather 18:41.140 --> 18:42.260 than help with tomorrow. 18:43.070 --> 18:47.890 Uh we stand ready to with our partners to to do what is necessary. 18:48.590 --> 18:53.070 Not do necessarily putter somebody but to find a way forward 18:53.380 --> 18:58.240 that restores those process. We worked so hard to order through 18:58.240 --> 18:58.890 the years. 18:59.660 --> 19:01.410 Russians have a clear choice. 19:02.520 --> 19:06.250 Laid ukrainian peace and work without us together to create a 19:06.250 --> 19:07.320 strong impression. 19:08.150 --> 19:10.230 I you praying that is not the poem. 19:10.880 --> 19:14.560 Polled in taught that between east and west but of that you're 19:14.560 --> 19:16.020 praying they could be a bridge. 19:16.940 --> 19:21.990 Rudolph.

Not all allies are gonna meet the NATO benchmark of 19:57.230 --> 20:00.870 2% of GT the overnight or even next year. 20:01.840 --> 20:05.470 But it's time for allies or below that level to mate credible 20:05.500 --> 20:09.190 in the bones to increase their spending on defense over the next 20:09.190 --> 20:10.070 five years. 20:10.630 --> 20:13.770 And if we're gonna move the trend line in a positive direction. 20:14.400 --> 20:17.460 This has to be an all lions wide effort. 20:18.370 --> 20:23.120 Two. If we want to europe that is false hold and free. 20:24.110 --> 20:27.300 That we have to do more to gather immediately with the sense 20:27.300 --> 20:28.050 of urgency. 20:28.830 --> 20:32.900 To ensure aren't that european nations are not dependent on russia 20:33.180 --> 20:35.060 for the majority of their energy. 20:35.810 --> 20:39.910 In this age of new energy markets in this age of concern about 20:39.910 --> 20:43.110 global climate change carbon a overload. 20:43.800 --> 20:47.200 We already have on a rush. To the ability to deal will it make 20:47.200 --> 20:48.250 europe last that. 20:48.900 --> 20:52.310 And if we do that that will be one of the greatest single strategic 20:52.310 --> 20:55.980 differences it can be made here we can to lever greater energy 20:55.980 --> 21:00.680 independence and how to diversify energy sources that are available 21:00.680 --> 21:03.980 movie european markets of the can expand the energy infrastructure 21:03.980 --> 21:08.990 across europe and we can build up energy storage capacity throughout 21:08.990 --> 21:09.410 the cotton. 21:10.410 --> 21:14.410 Third. We have to invest many other things. 21:14.930 --> 21:16.830 Of our economic partnership. 21:18.170 --> 21:22.670 We are are together your up in the United States to of the largest 21:22.670 --> 21:23.700 markets in the world. 21:24.680 --> 21:27.710 And the fact is that we can seriously strengthen our economic 21:27.710 --> 21:30.260 ties and accelerate growth and job creation. 21:30.890 --> 21:32.260 And serve as a buffer. 21:33.150 --> 21:36.470 To any negative impacts of some of the steps we need to take. 21:37.270 --> 21:40.910 If we more over on all sides of the aquatic rapidly. 21:41.460 --> 21:45.020 To complete the transit lab that trade and investment partnership. 21:45.780 --> 21:49.330 That agreement would do more or to change the way. We do business 21:49.760 --> 21:53.960 and some of our strategic considerations than any other single 21:53.960 --> 21:57.570 economic step that we can take with the sole exception of the 21:57.570 --> 21:58.750 energy independence. 21:59.510 --> 22:03.180 So my friends I just close by saying only of of this moment. 22:04.150 --> 22:07.250 Uh.
