Your first question, I was so fired up about that one
00:02
that I forgot the other one.
00:04
Oh, yes, that one, easy ones.
00:06
Well, look, I think yesterday our negotiators are en route
00:09
or perhaps they've already arrived after spending,
00:12
I think they met with the Ukrainians twice,
00:14
the Russians once.
00:14
What we have here is an agreement in principle
00:17
on a Black Sea ceasefire.
00:19
We got two things from that.
00:20
The first is we have more detailed definition
00:23
of what the energy ceasefire entails.
00:26
And the second is the principle concept of a Black Sea ceasefire.
00:30
Obviously, after our meeting, as part of their release,
00:33
the Russians detailed a number of conditions
00:36
that they want to see met in order to do that.
00:39
So we're going to evaluate that.
00:41
Some of those conditions include sanctions that are not ours.
00:43
They belong to the European Union.
00:45
So we're going to be gathering and sort
00:47
of when our folks get back, sitting down,
00:50
going through the proposals,
00:51
getting their impressions of the conversations
00:53
so we can more fully understand what the Russian position is
00:56
or what their ask is in exchange.
00:58
And then we'll present that to the President
00:59
who will ultimately make a decision
01:00
about what the next step is.
01:02
I think it's a good thing that we have both the Ukrainians
01:05
and the Russians talking about ceasefires, be they energy
01:08
or be they potentially in the Black Sea.
01:11
But obviously, this is hard and difficult work.
01:14
This is a protracted three and almost three
01:16
and a half year war now or three year war.
01:20
It has, you know, a lot of framework of sanctions
01:26
that have been built globally now that have to be looked
01:29
at as part of an ultimate end to a conflict.
01:32
There's a lot of things that have to be worked through.
01:34
And I certainly think the only way you're going to make progress
01:37
on these things is by engaging with both sides,
01:39
understanding their asks, their demands,
01:43
and seeing what's possible.
01:44
So we're going to have a chance now to sort of sit down as a team
01:46
and evaluate when they arrive in detail how the meetings went
01:50
with the Ukrainians, how the meetings went with Russia,
01:53
what are the Russians asking for,
01:54
what do the Ukrainians ask for, compare all that,
01:56
and then make a decision on that basis
01:58
about what comes next in this process.
02:01
In the end, the goal here is peace.
02:03
The goal is to end a war where people are dying.
02:05
And I think everyone should be happy
02:07
that the United States is engaged in a process
02:09
of ending a war and bringing about peace.
02:11
It's not going to be easy.
02:12
It won't be simple.
02:13
It'll take some time.
02:14
But at least we're on that road and we're talking
02:16
about these things, and we're going to test it
02:18
and see what's possible.
02:19
We think we owe that to the world.
02:20
And the President, I continue to say, is the only leader
02:23
in the world right now, President Trump,
02:25
who's in a position to even get these two nations to a city
02:29
to talk about these things, albeit in rooms far apart
02:34
from one another when these talks are going on.
02:35
But nonetheless, they're talking.
02:36
It's the first time in a while
02:37
that we've seen any conversation about this.
02:39
But we have a lot of work yet to be done, and we'll know more
02:41
after we get the readout from our teams.
