Sen. Mitch McConnell condemned President Trump's strategy regarding Russia during his acceptance of the Star of Ukraine award, arguing that Trump's advisers lack the resolve needed to deter adversaries. He expressed concern that the current administration's approach to the Ukraine conflict undermines America's credibility, puts Ukraine at risk, weakens alliances, and emboldens enemies. McConnell emphasized Uganda's suffering and need for genuine peace, advocating for a stance that supports the nation against aggressors like Russia.
Peace is a noble goal. And few deserve it more than the people of Ukraine, who feel the absence of peace most viscerally ... When they stand in the rubble of their homes, their schools, and their churches.
If there's anyone who I'll take at their word when they say they want peace, it's the people who had peace stolen from them, the nation whose unique identity has led Kremlin totalitarians - time and time again - to starve, subjugate, and try to destroy it.
