"Unlike some people, President Biden believes that any decision to negotiate, frankly, should be approved by President Zelensky and Ukraine. We are not going to force Ukraine to give up part of its territory because we understand that if we allow Putin to conquer Ukraine and subjugate its people, any of its people, the consequences would be serious. He and dictators around the world would only be emboldened, and we believe the world would be a much more dangerous place," said John Kirby.
He noted that the current US administration is committed to the principle of "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine" and is "firmly committed to making sure that President Zelenskyy has everything he needs so that if and when he is ready to come to the table, he can do so from a position of strength.
At the same time, John Kirby said that he was not going to comment on the 2024 elections and enter into a public debate about what former President Trump's advisers can or cannot say to him about it.
