00:00The U.S.-Ukraine security guarantees, what number are we at right now?

00:04Well, I think we're, look, you know, you can say 95 percent, but I don't like to say percentages.

00:10I just think we're doing very well. We're very, we could be very close.

00:13There are one or two very thorny issues, very tough issues, but I think we're doing very well.

00:18We've made a lot of progress today, but really we've made it over the last month.

00:22This is not a one-day process deal. This is very complicated stuff.

00:26But I think when the president says 95, I think, you know, it could be close to 95 percent.

00:31What are the thorniest issues still unresolved after that?

00:34Well, I think the land you're talking about, some of that land has been taken.

00:39Some of that land is maybe up for grabs, but it may be taken over the next period of a number of months.

00:58But Russia would like to see it end, and Ukraine would like to see it.

01:03And I think it's time to end.

01:05And a lot of very brave people, a lot of people that are dead right now, unfortunately.
