Bush Calls on Europe to Support Georgia, Ukraine

In his address to the European leaders in Brussels on February 21 the U.S. President George W. Bush called for more support for the ?new democracies? of the region, particularly Ukraine and Georgia.
 
?As a free government takes hold in that country [Ukraine], and as the government of President [Viktor] Yushchenko pursues vital reforms, Ukraine should be welcomed by the Europe Atlantic family,? President Bush said.

?We must support new democracies, so members of our alliance must continue to reach out to Georgia, for last year, a peaceful protest overturned a stolen election and unleashed the forces of democratic change,? he added.
