It should come as no surprise that Russia continues its effort to manipulate Western democracies in a way to sow discord and disagreements between our countries in NATO and within the United States or any other Western European country. And it's something the United States obviously must be on guard against.

Russia remains an adversary to the United States. We have some overlapping interests. It would be better if our relationship was better.

For instance, providing defensive weaponry to Ukraine. I encourage the President and the administration to take a look at those steps.
