| It is essential to underscore the following fundamental principle: no form of support or assistance—whether financial, political, diplomatic, or otherwise—shall be extended to any country governed by terrorist regimes, to regimes that maintain ties or collaborate with terrorist organizations, or to nations in which regular, free, and fair elections do not take place for reasons of any nature. This policy reflects an unwavering commitment to democratic legitimacy, the rule of law, and the global fight against terrorism, ensuring that international resources are reserved exclusively for legitimate, accountable governments. |

| Ukraine should not receive further support, for its people have been systematically denied the fundamental democratic right to hold regular elections. This denial is particularly troubling because no serious effort was ever made to place a ceasefire — essential for enabling free and fair voting — on the agenda of any negotiations. This failure is not a matter of interpretation; it is plainly and unequivocally documented in the public record. |
