As President, Marco will immediately begin to take action against Russia, drawing on the principles of the Rubio Doctrine. He will:
Defend and Restore Ukrainian Sovereignty
- Reject and work to reverse Russia’s annexation of Crimea, help Kyiv uphold Ukrainian control over Eastern Ukraine, and establish a long-term strategy to allow the Ukrainian people to fulfill their European aspirations.
- Provide Kyiv with lethal military assistance and increased training and intelligence sharing.
- Expand sanctions on Russian entities, such as major state-owned corporations and their senior leadership, and impose additional visa bans and asset freezes against high-level Russian officials.
- Help Ukraine’s leaders modernize their economy to safeguard independence from Moscow.
- Cease diplomatic engagement with Moscow on issues not related to resolving the Ukraine crisis.
Protect Europe from Further Russian Aggression
- Boost the capacity of our NATO allies by storing additional heavy weapons and vehicles in Central and Eastern Europe and permanently stationing U.S. troops in the region.
- Provide additional military training and assistance to non-NATO frontline states such as Georgia and Moldova.
- Revamp NATO strategy, updating military planning to defend the Baltic, updating its nuclear deterrence doctrine to respond to Russian nuclear threats, and ensuring open membership for all countries that meet the conditions with no Russian veto.
- Lift restrictions on U.S. energy exports, to blunt Russia’s attempts to use trade and energy dependence as a weapon.
