Putin has the gall to say he is “de-Nazifying” Ukraine.
This lie isn’t just cynical. It is obscene.
President Zelenskyy was democratically elected. He is Jewish — his father’s family was wiped out in the Nazi Holocaust.
Putin — like all autocrats before him — believes that might makes right.
President Abraham Lincoln voiced an opposing spirit to save our Union: “Let us have faith that right makes might.”
Today, let us have that faith again.
No free world leader should hesitate to state plainly that the world would be a far better place if Putin were no longer in power in Russia. A good way to make that come about is to say exactly that. Russia will be pariah until Putin is gone.
Today, I met with Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense — and with Polish President Andrzej Duda. I’m visiting a refugee site to see our humanitarian efforts. Tonight, I’m delivering remarks on our commitment to a future rooted in democratic principles.

This weekend, my wife tested ➕ for COVID.
She's doing fine. Kids & I have tested ➖, but out of caution, I won't be going to the Oscars tomorrow night. Cheering for my TickTickBoom & Encanto families w my own family, alongside all of you, ALL of you. -LMM
Let there be no doubt that this war has already been a strategic failure for Russia.
Putin thought Ukrainians would roll over and not fight. Instead, Russian forces have met their match with brave and stiff Ukrainian resistance.
