Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia Wess Mitchell at @Atlantic Council Conference – Championing the Frontlines of Freedom: Erasing the “Grey Zone”:
“Today, it is the national security and territorial integrity of frontier states like Ukraine, Georgia and even Belarus that offer the surest bulwark against Russian neo-imperialism”
“Russian Federation has an established track record of doing the opposite of building up the independence of smaller nations, look at the situation in Ukraine and Georgia”
“I would argue that the last NATO summit gave the strongest and clearest indication to date, that NATO remains committed to the future of Georgia in the alliance”
