Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday pledged that the U.S. will “continue to hold Russia accountable” even as President Trump looks to revive a wavering relationship between the two countries and re-assured allies of the U.S. commitment to NATO.

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, Pence said “in regard to Ukraine, we must hold Russia accountable and demand that they honor the Minsk agreements beginning by deescalating the violence in Eastern Ukraine.”
