Hed persuaded the president That Authorising Ukraine To Fire Western Missiles at russia was a good idea. Instead, he said well, theres only one reason were having these discussions, and that is because putin has illegally invaded ukraine. And the quickest way to resolve this obviously lies through, you know, what putin actually does, because its for him to end this. But we are having the discussion. Weve stood with ukraine.
