## Transcript

We do not and we will not accept Russia's seizure of the Crimea. And despite Russia's denials we know they are seeking to redraw international borders by force, undermining the sovereign and free nations of Europe. The US and our allies will continue to press Russia to honor its missed commitments. And our sanctions will remain in place Until Moscow reversed the actions that triggered them. As President Trump has made clear the United States remained committed to diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.
