Liz Cheney said on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin should not get any rewards for his invasion of Ukraine, pointing to territory that could be ceded to Russia during peace talks.
During an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, the Wyoming Republican stressed that Russia shouldn't be rewarded for its attacks against Ukraine.
She said it was important that Putin did not get any rewards for his aggression.
She believes that we cannot be in a situation where the security and peace that has been guaranteed since 1945 on the continent of Europe, suddenly now, powers believe that by the kind of onslaught that you have seen, the kind of war.
While the United States would remain firmly on the side of Ukraine, it would articulate that Putin should not stand to gain geographic advantages after Russian military forces delivered, said Cheney, who has been vocal against any sort of political sympathies towards Moscow in recent weeks.
It is important for the United States and NATO to be clear. The congresswoman said that they are going to support Zelenskyy, but that they do not believe Putin should be able to benefit from his actions.
Zelenskyy said that Russia and Ukraine need to stop the conflict.
He told Fareed that if there is only a small chance of stopping the war, we need to take it.
According to the United Nations migration agency, the conflict has caused the displacement of over 6 million people.
According to a US intelligence estimate, 7,000 Russian troops have died in the conflict, while roughly 1,300 Ukrainian troops have been confirmed as among those killed.
