我们必须与乌克兰站在一起，因为他们为我们而站
我亲眼目睹了乌克兰从一个苏联解体中崩塌的部分转变为一个自由民主的开放社会。它面对过无数次俄罗斯的侵略行为，但始终坚持不懈。勇敢的乌克兰人现在正处在第一线，冒着生命危险。乌克兰传来的惨不忍睹的画面让我想起了 1944 年遭受战争蹂躏的布达佩斯和 1993 年萨拉热窝的围城。大西洋联盟（美国、加拿大、欧盟和英国）以及其他国家都必须不遗余力地支持乌克兰，在这个生死存亡的关头提供一切力所能及的帮助。普京的行动是对所有曾经属于苏联以及其他国家主权的直接攻击。俄罗斯明显违反了联合国宪章，理应被追究责任。如果普京的图谋得逞，这将在全世界发出一个信号：国家可以仅仅通过蛮力被创造或消灭。我们必须与乌克兰站在一起，就像他们为我们而站。
I have witnessed Ukraine transform from a collapsing part of the Soviet Union to a liberal democracy and an open society. It has faced countless acts of Russian aggression, but has persisted. Brave Ukrainians are now on the frontline and risking their lives. The horrible images coming out of Ukraine remind me of war torn Budapest in 1944 and the siege of Sarajevo in 1993. It is important that both the transatlantic alliance (the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom) but also other nations do whatever is in their power to support Ukraine in its time of existential threat. Putin’s actions are a direct attack on the sovereignty of all States that were once in the Soviet Union, and beyond. Russia is in clear violation of the United Nations charter and should be held accountable. Allowing Putin to succeed on his quest will send a message across the world that nations can simply be created or dissolved by brute force. We must stand with Ukraine, as they stand for us.
