I come to the same chamber to address the nation. Now it's we who face unprecedented moment in history of the union and, yes, Purpose. Tonight is the wake up the Congress and alert the American people that this is no ordinary moment, either. Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War Freedom and democracy but under salt at home. As they are today. What makes our moment rare is a freedom and democracy are under attack at both at home. And overseas. At the very same time. Overseas. Putin of Russia is on the march. Invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout Europe and beyond. If anybody in this room thanks. Putin will stop it. Ukraine. I assure you, he will not But your train The train can stop this. You can stop Putin. If we stand with Ukraine And provide the weapons. To defend itself. That is all. Ukraine is asking they're not asking for American soldiers. In fact, there are no American soldiers War Ukraine and I'm determined to keep it that way. Now. Assistant Ukraine has been blocked. By those who want to walk away from our world leadership. It was a long ago, Republican president named Ronald Reagan thundered. Mr Gorbachev. Tear down this wall. Now. Now my predecessor. A former Republican president tells Putin quote, do whatever the hell you want. That's a quote. Former president actually said that bowing down to the Russian leader, I think it's outrageous. It's dangerous and it's unacceptable. Founding member of NATO. The military Alliance of Democratic Nations created after World War to prevent to prevent war and keep the peace and today we've made NATO stronger than ever. Welcome Finland to the alliance last year. And just this morning. Swinging, officially joined and their minister is here tonight. Understand up Welcome. Welcome Welcome. And they know how to fight. Mr Prime Minister Welcome to NATO, the strongest military lines the world has ever seen. I say this to Congress. We have to stand up to Putin. Send me a bipartisan national security bill. History is literally watching history is watching. The United States walks away. It will put Ukraine at risk. You represent risk. The free world be at risk and bolding others to do what they wish to do us harm. My message to President Putin, who I've known for a long time is simple. We will not walk away. Down. I will not bow down. No sense History is watching history is watching
