So whatever russia is planning to do, we have our strategy, and this strategy is based on the assumption on the confidence that we will win this war, and we will liberty our territories. timing is important, but we don t calculate how much time it will take. the national security adviser jake sullivan is listening to our program right now and willard be on this program right after we conclude our talk. do you have any message or question for him? well, i think that i would send regards to jake sullivan with whom we met in warsaw a week ago when i was received by president biden and we had a meeting with secretary blinken and austin. i think that the level of mutual understanding that ukraine can bring a lot of good to the world
And to europe. so i think that we should, i believe that we should open all doors, and ukraine is ready to be a reliable partner, a strategic partner of the united states, but we need everything that jake is perfectly aware of, as soon as possible, to put an end to this war, to restore the country, and to strengthen the europe atlantic security. mr. foreign minister, i appreciate you coming on. thank you. thank you. and as i mentioned, joining me now, who was listening, national security adviser jake sullivan. jake, welcome back to meet the press. thanks for having me. i ll give you a chance right now to respond. obviously when a country is at war, the weapons never come fast enough when you ve got people coming in a hot shooting war. what can the united states be
War crimes, we have gotten to a place in the united states and across many members of the nato alliance where the key question is what does ukraine need and how can we provide it to them? that is the work that we are doing every day. i d just like to point out, chuck, something very important, which is that the foreign minister just told you eye crane won the battle of kyiv. kyiv stands despite russia s attempt to take and conquer the capital. and it stands because of the bravery and skill of ukranian fighters, but it stands because weapons were in their hands, stopping tanks, shooting down aircraft, and turning back the russians, and we are proud of that contribution, but we are not resting until we have given them everything that they need to be able to succeed in their aims. is our posture now we re going to do everything we can to help ukraine win this war? i say it that way, because a month ago, i don t think there was a thought, how do we end the violence and get to the negotia
Course, we are preparing for it, working with our partners to get all necessary weapons, and basically everything that one needs to win a battle. the united kingdom has been taking the lead in working with us on the issues which we need the most, such as armored vehicles. or shore to vessel weapons to contain the fleet of the russian federation. earlier when this war began, the united states made a distinction between defensive weapons and offensive weapons. you yourself even said you didn t understand the difference, we re defending our country. any weapon needs to be used here to defend. now our pentagon is saying ukraine can win this war. what weapons do you need that we re not sending to help you win this war?
Congressman carlos curbelo, kimberly atkins stohr, and josh lederman. nbc news correspondent. welcome to sunday. it s meet the press. from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, this is meet the press with chuck todd. good sunday morning. it s difficult to put into words the extent of russian cruelty. perhaps the russians have done it for us. on friday at the train station where russians bombed civilians who were simply trying to flee the war from ukraine s east was a missile fragment with a letter reading for the children. is that a signal from the russians? it s not clear. what is clear is that some 50 people were killed, civilians trying to flee the war. ukraine s president zelenskyy called this an evil that has no limits as he begged, cajoled and demanded that western allies do
