## Transcript

It's not a new cold war, what it is is a very specific, issue related to Russia's unwillingness to recognize that Ukraine can chart it's own path. Russia is once again isolating itself from the international community, setting back decades of genuine progress. And it doesn't have to come to this. It didn't have to come to this. It does not have to be this way. This is a choice that Russia and President Putin in particular has made. There continues to be a better choice. The choice of de- escalation. The choice of joining the world in a diplomatic solution to this situation. A choice in which Russia recognizes that it can be a good neighbor and trading partner with Ukraine, even as Ukraine is also developing ties with Europe.
