Russia wants to conquer its neighbors

The State Department Speaker noted that the United States continues to be concerned about Russian aggression in general.

And one of the things, which you heard from the President is that one of the reasons why it is so important that we support Ukraine is that we do not believe that Putin will be happy and stop at Ukraine if he succeeds in finally conquering Ukraine and subjugating it Russia,” Miller said.

The speaker recalled that this is what motivated Finland to join NATO, and Sweden to strive for membership in the North Atlantic Alliance.

“You've seen Russia, which has demonstrated a willingness and desire to use its military to conquer its neighbors, so of course we want to take measures to contain that,” Miller stressed.
