1. Ken Farnaso:

   President Trump and the nation's governors have partnered up in the greatest public and private sector mobilization effort since [World War Two], while Biden has done nothing but sit on the sidelines fear-mongering and rooting against America's success.

2. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban:

   The situation is that today we are sitting in a car with flat tires on all four wheels, it is quite obvious that the war cannot be won this way. Ukrainians will never win a war against Russia with American training officers and weapons.

3. Sam Cranny-Evans:

   If we look, historically, at authoritarian regimes that perform poorly in a military setting, the don't tend to change their behavior in a positive direction afterwards. So the question might be that if the Ukrainians say,' OK, we will be neutral, just get out,' the Russians might say' No, you have to give us Donetsk and Luhansk. That might be bearable for Ukraine, perhaps, in order to stop the war, but what if, for instance, 10 years down the line, Ukraine has advanced on a significant military modernization ? Or the next Russian president wants to prove his worth, and they conduct another war ? There are a lot of scenarios to think through in terms of what ending this war could lead to.
