00:00All right, we had a very good day, sir.

00:06I think we made a tremendous amount of progress,

00:08even from the last time I spoke to you,

00:09and I apologize for keeping you waiting,

00:11but there was more work to be done.

00:13You know, we began almost three weeks ago

00:14with a foundational document

00:16that we socialized and ran by both sides,

00:19and with input from both sides.

00:20And one of the things that happens

00:21when you've been involved in this now for 10 months

00:23is you get a pretty good sense

00:25of what the priorities and the red lines

00:27and the important issues are for both sides.

00:30I arrived here today with one goal,

00:31and the goal was to take, you know,

00:33what, you know, 28 points or 26 points,

00:36depending on which version,

00:37as it continued to evolve,

00:39and try to narrow the ones that were open items.

00:41And we have achieved that today

00:42in a very substantial way.

00:44Now, obviously, like any final agreement,

00:46it'll have to be agreed upon by the presidents,

00:48and there are a couple issues

00:50that we need to continue to work on.

00:52But I think the report today is that,

00:54I think today was worthwhile.

00:56It was very, very...

00:57It is probably the most productive day

01:00we have had on this issue,

01:01maybe in the entirety of our engagement,

01:04but certainly in a very long time.

01:06But work remains,

01:07and because this continues to be a working process,

01:12you know, I don't want to declare victory or finality here.

01:15There's still some work to be done.

01:17But we are much further ahead today at this time

01:19than we were when we began this morning

01:21and where we were a week ago for certain.

01:23How do you check out a little...

01:24This is a living, breathing document.

01:26Every day with input, it changes.

01:28There are some that involved equities

01:29or the role of the EU or of NATO or so forth,

01:33and those we kind of segregated out

01:34because we just met with the national security advisors

01:37for various European countries,

01:39and those are things we'll have to discuss with them

01:41because it involves them.

01:43So we sort of really focused on the ones

01:45that were bilateral in nature for the most part.

01:47So there are a couple...

01:48None of it insurmountable.

01:49I can tell you that the items that remain open

01:51are not insurmountable.

01:52We just need more time than what we have today.

01:55I honestly believe we'll get there.

01:57The Russian party...

01:58Well, obviously, the Russians get a vote here, right?

02:01So, I mean, look,

02:03we began from the early stage of this process

02:06with our understanding of the Russian position

02:08as had been communicated to us in numerous ways.

02:11At the State Department,

02:13we received numerous written non-papers

02:16and things of this nature.

02:17Also, verbally, things they've discussed over time

02:20and so forth.

02:21So it was...

02:22No matter what we came up with today,

02:24obviously, we now have to take what we come up with

02:26if we can reach that agreement

02:27with the Ukrainian side to the Russian side.

02:29That's another part of this equation.

02:31They have to agree to this in order for this to work.

02:34The deadline is we want to get this done

02:35as soon as possible.

02:36Obviously, we'd love it to be Thursday.

02:38We'd love to be...

02:39Ultimately, the important point today

02:41is that we have made substantial progress.

02:43We've really moved forward.

02:44So I feel very optimistic

02:45that we're going to get there

02:47in a very reasonable period of time very soon.

02:49You know, whether it's Thursday,

02:50whether it's Friday,

02:51whether it's Wednesday,

02:52whether it's Monday of the following week,

02:53we want it to be soon

02:54because people are going to...

02:55Between today and the time we deal with this,

02:57more people are going to die.

02:58More destruction is going to happen.

03:00Our goal is to end this war as soon as possible,

03:02but we need a little more time.
