Karen Pierce, the British ambassador to the United States, emphasized the importance of continuing to apply additional sanctions against Russia to degrade its ability to fight Ukraine and limit Putin's actions abroad. Despite concerns about the effectiveness of these sanctions, Ambassador Pierce highlighted their role in weakening Putin's ability to wage war.
Regarding the situation in Ukraine, Ambassador Pierce dismissed the notion that Putin has the upper hand, citing the resilience of the Ukrainian forces and the support they have received. She expressed gratitude for the assistance provided by the United States and urged Congress to pass the Ukraine aid package.
