00:00Well, I won't be putting pressure on President Zelensky. I will be talking to him about the peace plan.

00:05The most important thing is to ensure that if there is a cessation of hostilities, a ceasefire, and I hope there is,

00:15it has to be just and it has to be lasting, which is what we will be focused on this afternoon.

00:20So I've got President Zelensky in for a session which will include quite a bit of private time to talk to him about the peace plan

00:29and to make sure that it is something which can ensure that if there is peace, it is a lasting peace.

00:36Because we have had a ceasefire before and it's not being kept and so it's very important that we get this right.
