Washington – Rep. Dan Crenshaw, Republican of Texas, said European leaders need to send a “more powerful message” to Ukrainian Russian President Vladimir Putin in a effort to begin Peace negotiations and the agreement to end the war.
“If we want to win, if we want to achieve better results for Ukraine, you need to be uncomfortable,” Crenshaw said of him to European leaders.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Crenshaw is one of a group of bipartisan lawmakers who have met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the annual security summit in recent days. They also heard it from the retired lieutenant. Keith Kelloggthe United States, Ukraine and Russia's special envoys, participated in the handling of peace negotiations.
Texas Republican said Kellogg “is clear that what we call peace is a lasting peace,” he said, which would involve security assurances. Crenshaw said this is still to be certain, while believing that Europe must be the main player.
Crenshaw said that not only did European countries need to strengthen their defense spending, but also talk about “where you will put your actual troops on the ground”.
“Stop following our leadership and actually get ahead,” Crenshaw said. “Let's actually get you back. It's going to be an ideal situation and it will greatly change motivation when dealing with Putin.”
Crenshaw argues that if European leaders want to sit on the table, they should “make money.”
“We listen to Zelenskyy,” Crenshaw said. “And I want to listen to other European leaders, too, but I hope they get uncomfortable because it provides us with more leverage to help Ukraine achieve better result.”
The comments are due to the fact that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has raised some Republican criticism even in recent days, as he suggests that it is unrealistic for Ukraine to expect NAD membership. He also suspects that the country will be able to return to its pre-2014 border before Russia's first invasion of Ukraine and annexed Crimea. Heggs later go back These comments say, “Everything is on the table.”
New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, Ranked by Senate Foreign Relations Committee Also appears in “Facing the Country” On Sunday, the government said Ukraine was sending “mixed messages” to Ukraine. She said she hoped “this is everything we will do to support Ukraine as much as we can.”
But Crenshaw defended the White House’s attitude toward possible peace talks, saying “you have to listen to the White House as a whole” and noting that the administration made it clear that “there is nothing without a table.”
“You walk into all the negotiations on the table. I think that's exactly what this White House is doing,” Crenshaw said.
Crenshaw acknowledged that the United States has not received a commitment to negotiate Putin, reaffirming his demands for European leaders, demanding “uncomfortably radical” with the Russian leader, saying “only make the power.” Response”.
