00:24some other items as well and related to the war in Ukraine, but that was obviously the

00:29first and foremost topic that we discussed. And look, the president's been pretty clear.

00:33He's disappointed and frustrated that there's not been more flexibility on the Russian side

00:38to bring about an end to this conflict. We hope that can change. And we're going to continue

00:44to stay involved where we see opportunities to make a difference. I expressed what the

00:49president has said publicly, which is that we feel as if we've dedicated a lot of time

00:54and energy to this matter and just not enough progress has been made. We need to see a

00:59road map moving forward about how this conflict can conclude. And then we shared some ideas

01:04about what that might look like. And obviously I'll take that back to the president here as

01:08early as this evening and hopefully there's something that we can build on there.
