to support ukraine. the words he used freedom, freedom isn't cheap and freedom is worth fighting for. and that's exactly what the ukrainians are doing with our help. and also with almost the entire european community. >> we also talked with a former u.s. ambassador to ukraine, steven pifer, who's now with the center of international security and cooperation at stanford university. he talked to kron 4 about how much support ukraine has gotten now february of last year. >> west, his united now a year into this war in a way that few were not might not predicted back in february of 2022. and there is strong support for ukraine. now, having said that, it seems to me that there's no advantage for ukraine in the long conflict is going see more tragedy for ukraine and ukrainians and the longer this drags on, it need become it may become more difficult for the west to public support. so

i would argue that is a reason why the west should be now providing more to ukraine and hopefully the ukraine military change the situation on the battlefield that before shorten the war. that seems to be in the queen. and it just but also in the midst of the west, as you try to help ukraine get this work to a place. we're either they drive the russians out of ukraine or can change the battlefield situations such that moscow is prepared to negotiate a settlement on terms that ukraine can accept. >> all the president pledged more military aid to ukraine but warned war is far from over. the president reportedly travel 10 hours by train to and from key. fresh off of that unexpected visit to ukraine. president biden is in poland to rally global allies. he's set to meet with other world leaders to talk about support for ukraine. hannah brandt is live in dc with the latest. good morning. >> reyna, good morning. that's right. president biden will be spending the next couple of days in europe as he meets with those key allies who've
