Former U.S. Ambassadors Condemn U.S. Policy on Ukraine, Call for Global Ceasefire
A group of former U.S. ambassadors criticized current U.S. policy on Ukraine, arguing that America cannot defend freedom while treating Ukraine's survival as currency. They labeled Russia's war an illegal aggression and called for accountability for attacks on civilians and UN Security Council resolutions. The Nexta article also included a separate statement by the Greek Prime Minister and a call for a global ceasefire, which Politico Europe omitted.
