## Transcript

We've already suspended preparations for the G8 summit. I think you can expect that there would be further follow up on that. I think we're taking a look at a whole range of issues that John Kerry mentioned yesterday. And the question for Mr. Putin, who I spoke to directly. And the question for the Russian government generally is if in fact their concern is that the rights of all Ukrainians are respected. If, in fact, their primary concern, as they've stated, is that Russian speakers and Russian nationals are not in any way harmed or, or abused or discriminated against. Then, we should be able to set up international monitors, and an international effort, that mediates between various parties.

That is able to broker a, a deal that is satisfactory to the Ukrainian people. Not to the United States, not to Russia, but to the Ukrainian people. And we should be able to deescalate the situation. I spent the weekend talking to leaders across Europe, and I think the world is largely united in recognizing that the steps Russia has taken, are a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty. Ukraine's territorial integrity. That they're a violation of international law, they're a violation of previous agreements that Russia has made with respect to how it treats and respects its neighbors, and as a consequence we got strong statements from NATO, from the G7 condemning the actions that Russia's taking.

I think the strong condemnation that's received from countries around the world indicates the degree to which Russia's on the wrong side of history on this.
