00:00The discussions today will be operational.

00:03They'll be about how do we turn concepts into military plans,

00:09particularly focusing on how do we

00:11keep the skies safe, the seas safe, and the borders safe.

00:14That'll be working with the Ukrainians.

00:16So we're moving, if you like, today from concepts

00:20to military plans.

00:22And that's the important step forward,

00:23because the timetable, as I say, is moving into sharper focus.

00:28And obviously, nobody knows what the outcome will be.

00:31But what I do know is that if there is a deal,

00:34we must be prepared.

00:35We can't start our preparations after a deal.

00:37We've got to start our preparations before.

00:39And that's what we're doing.
