Part 2/8:
When asked about whether the United States should increase its support for Ukraine, General Clark expressed firm agreement. He echoed sentiments from Ambassador Kurt Volker, who advocates for providing Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles and applying more substantial sanctions against Russia. Clark emphasized the importance of shifting from a cautious approach to one that decisively pressures Moscow. He highlighted that giving Ukraine missile capabilities that can target Russian military infrastructure, coupled with a strategic pause—such as a ceasefire agreement—could serve as leverage. Clark suggests that these missiles should be used to encourage a resolution, not prolong conflict, framing their deployment as a calculated means to put pressure on Russia rather than escalation for its own sake.
