00:00:01,059 --> 00:00:03,059
Our partnerships that we're here to 

2
00:00:03,059 --> 00:00:05,059
highlight today is just part of the 

3
00:00:05,059 --> 00:00:07,639
evolution of the National Guard as we 

4
00:00:07,650 --> 00:00:09,483
go back to our relationship with 

5
00:00:09,483 --> 00:00:11,650
Ukraine and the importance of it now . 

6
00:00:11,650 --> 00:00:13,650
But the importance over the past 30 

7
00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:15,817
years and our guardsmen today continue 

8
00:00:15,817 --> 00:00:17,928
to train Ukrainian soldiers and units 

9
00:00:17,928 --> 00:00:19,983
in Germany so they can get back into 

10
00:00:19,983 --> 00:00:22,039
the fight . And for all of our other 

11
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:24,150
state partners that border Russia and 

12
00:00:24,150 --> 00:00:26,150
difficult regions of the world , as 

13
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:28,039
we've said , from the beginning , 

14
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:27,799
partners are partners were there to 

15
00:00:27,809 --> 00:00:30,139
help each other in every aspect and in 

16
00:00:30,149 --> 00:00:31,209
every way we can , 

17
00:00:33,930 --> 00:00:35,708
every one of your countries has 

18
00:00:35,708 --> 00:00:37,770
incredible capabilities and men and 

19
00:00:37,779 --> 00:00:39,946
women that serve their uniform as well 

20
00:00:39,946 --> 00:00:41,890
and our ability to learn from them 

21
00:00:41,890 --> 00:00:44,001
makes us better and we can share what 

22
00:00:44,001 --> 00:00:46,168
we've learned so that we become better 

23
00:00:46,168 --> 00:00:48,168
and hopefully deter those who would 

24
00:00:48,168 --> 00:00:50,223
oppress and those who want to change 

25
00:00:50,223 --> 00:00:52,390
international boundaries and the rules 

26
00:00:52,390 --> 00:00:51,950
based .
