Accepted
The Government agrees with the Committee. We fully supported Ukraine’s use of the Vienna Document to de-escalate the situation and request greater transparency from Russia on its military activity. The restraint shown by Ukraine is to be commended, including efforts to de-escalate and President Zelenskyy’s commitment to finding diplomatic solutions.
