Quote from Grynkewich: "Senator, I think that Ukraine can win."

"I think any time your own homeland is threatened, you fight with a tenacity that's difficult for us to conceive of when we… if we haven't found ourselves in that same situation."

Background:

  • In early June 2025, US President Donald Trump nominated Grynkewich as Supreme Allied Commander Europe for NATO’s combined armed forces.
  • Grynkewich will also lead the US European Command alongside his NATO role.
  • His Senate statement contrasts with the Trump administration’s official stance, which maintains there is no military solution to the war and calls for a negotiated "agreement".
