Richard Verma highlighted that U.S. support for Ukraine is not an act of charity. Instead, the United States and its allies aim to strengthen global stability and uphold democratic values.

He stated that Russia’s aggression threatens NATO and EU principles, making Ukraine’s defense a top priority.
