COTTON: “We are not in a war with Russia. Ukraine is in a war with Russia because Russia invaded Ukrainian territory. It’s up to the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people to make that decision. We should back them in that decision. They just took back kherson, the only provincial capital Russia has seized going back to — to February. If we begin to falter or fail, if Russia begins to get the upper hand to get on the battlefield, that’s the most certain way to prolong this war.”
