00:11Because this is not the main channel.
00:14This is not the official U.S. work on this project.
00:18The official U.S. work on this project is under Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
00:23and it will have, and indeed already has had, input from the Ukrainians and from the Europeans.
00:30As I say, this one, this document is not endorsed by the U.S. government,
00:36and so it didn't benefit from the normal process of talking to the Ukrainians and the Europeans.
00:43So that will come when they get to a serious work, unlike this 28-point plan, which is not serious in my view.
00:51When they get to the serious work, the Ukrainians and the Europeans will have strong views.
