00:05Let me start where I must start by paying tribute to the courage and resilience of Ukrainian
00:11people over four years of this conflict. They've shown incredible courage, both on the front
00:18line and the civilians, day in, day out. And I hope you can convey to them again that the
00:25UK stands with them for as long as it may take. There's obviously a conflict in Iran going
00:31on in the Middle East, but we can't lose focus on what's going on in Ukraine. Putin can't
00:38be the one who benefits from the conflict in Iran, whether that's oil prices or the dropping
00:46of sanctions. And it's really important to keep our power resolve in relation to supporting
00:53Ukraine and doing everything we can to weaken the hand of Putin.
00:58Also, not to forget about our diplomatic efforts and negotiations and where we are with Americans
01:08and with Russians. We have to discuss this sensitive topic. Yes. And of course, about Middle East,
01:14you mentioned, it has big influence, I think, on Ukraine.
