00:00There's no ceasefire in place by tomorrow, which was the previously stated deadline
00:05in order to forestall sanctions by the U.S.
00:08Are sanctions going to be imposed tomorrow, either secondary or any other sort?
00:11A lot of speculation involved there. I'm not going to speculate from here.
00:30It was a pretty hard deadline by the president, and administration officials indicated they were expected to be put in place.
00:49As you said, assuming, that's kind of where I draw the line in terms of speculation.
00:54I'll refer to the White House to speak more, defer to the president, and I want to get ahead of him,
00:58of him but not to speculate from here what is your level of trust to put in that that he is not uh
01:05you know engaging in another delaying tactic here and how over optimistic uh a little over
01:10optimistic for us to expect anything out of this meeting potential meeting well it's not a question
01:16of trust it's a question of actions the president has described how he's been disappointed in the
01:20actions that we have seen from russia over recent weeks he's talked about needing seeing actions
01:25not just words he's described that himself so this is not a question of trust per se this is a
01:30question of seeing actions to match up the words but also is indicative of the commitment that we
01:35have made clear from the beginning of this administration that we stand ready to aid in
01:39the pursuit of peace try to end this conflict stop the carnage that is our driving policy here that
01:44remains our driving policy and getting the size to the table is key to reaching a diplomatic solution
01:50to this conflict so it's not about trust it's about action and it's about doing everything we can
01:56to aid in the pursuit of peace uh and bring this this war to an end president trump and the potential
02:02summit with russian leader vladimir putin i know white house officials have said that for that meeting
02:07to take place putin needs to be willing to meet with ukrainian president volodymyr zelinski but i was
02:12wondering can you put a fine point on that is there any world in which this summit between president
02:18trump and president putin can happen without putin agreeing to his volensky meeting as well well i'm
02:24going to refer you to the white house on that one for details on the president's schedule um what i
02:28can say is looking backwards as the secretary has described we have been in continual communication
02:34with our partners in europe continual communication with ukraine our ultimate goal is to end this
02:39conflict get the parties to the table see the ceasefire and the long and enduring peace but for
02:44details on the president's schedule i refer you to the white house yes rachel with holy broadcasting
02:49good to see you um in regards to ukraine does the secretary have any uh maybe scheduling a chance
02:57meeting with his counterpart with ukrainian officials or with any russian officials i have nothing to
03:02preview in terms of the schedule at this point okay so we've seen in the war in ukraine a big division
03:07in europe and um the inability to sort it out and how much the issue that we're seeing in europe this
03:17division forced the president of the united states to take it over and say hey i have to deal with this
03:23and try to meet putin because the european were unable to kind of put on the table uh zelensky and putin
03:33well the president has been clear he wants to see our european partners step up in a variety of
03:38different areas we saw for example the recent nato deal uh in terms of weapons being sold to nato and
03:43then they can then give those weapons to who they they wish uh the president is a deal maker as the
03:49secretary was describing just yesterday uh he is a deal maker uh he's able to reach deals on behalf of
03:54the american people then but then also that lead to a safer world uh so the president stands ready like
03:59i said to aid in the pursuit of this piece but he has also been clear that we want to see we need
04:03to see our european partners stepping up uh in terms of defense spending in terms of a whole variety
04:08of other measures here and that remains in terms of needing to see our european partners also step up
