00:00All right, and I apologize because I'm pressed for time.
00:27I think we both are, but I just wanted to update you.
00:30We had another very productive session building off Geneva, building off the events of this week.
00:33As I told you earlier this morning, our goal here is to end the war, but it's more than just to end the war.
00:39We don't just want to end the war.
00:40We also want to help Ukraine be safe forever, so never again will they face another invasion.
00:46And equally importantly, we want them to enter an age of true prosperity.
00:50We want the Ukrainian people to emerge from this war, not just to rebuild their country,
00:54but to build it back in a way that will be stronger and more prosperous than it's ever been.
00:58And so this is comprehensive, what we're working on here today.
01:00It's not just about the terms that ends fighting.
01:02It's about also the terms that set up Ukraine for long-term prosperity.
01:06I thought we started laying the groundwork for that, most certainly in Geneva.
01:10I think we continued that work in our communications throughout the week.
01:13I think we built on that again today, but there's more work to be done.
01:16This is delicate. It's complicated.
01:17There are a lot of moving parts, and obviously there's another party involved here
01:20that they'll have to be a part of the equation, and that'll continue later this week
01:25when Mr. Woodcoff travels to Moscow, although we've also been in touch in varying degrees
01:31with the Russian side.
01:32But we have a pretty good understanding of their views as well.
01:34So much work remains, but today was again a very productive and useful session
01:39where I think additional progress was made.
01:41We continue to be realistic about how difficult this is, but optimistic,
01:45particularly given the fact that as we've made progress,
01:48I think there is a shared vision here that this is not just about ending the war,
01:52which is very important.
01:53It is about securing Ukraine's future, a future that we hope will be more prosperous
01:57than it's ever been.
01:58Yeah.
02:00Once again, we are grateful to American people, American leadership,
02:04and a great team with State Secretary Steve Witkow, Jared Kushner for their tremendous work with us.
02:13Our objective is a prosperous, strong Ukraine.
02:17We were discussing about the future of Ukraine.
02:19We discussed all the important matters that are important for Ukraine,
02:26for Ukrainian people, and the U.S. was super supportive.
02:30We worked.
02:31We already had a successful meeting in Geneva,
02:33and today we continue this success.
02:36So at the moment, this meeting was productive and successful.
02:41On the later stages, hopefully, we will keep you updated.
02:45Thank you very much, guys.
02:47Mr. Secretary, are you planning to brief your European...
02:55Thank you, guys.
02:56We can go back the way we came.
02:58We can turn around and...
