00:00So, on the first part of your question, we have very carefully shaped the financial support for Ukraine.
00:12As you know, the 50 billion euro Ukraine facility that is there, and that we have now, in addition,
00:19the G7 loan that will give Ukraine already important relief until 2026.
00:27And you know that we have a fair share for every partner in the G7.
00:34They all contribute to this $50 billion loan that is given to Ukraine in addition.
00:41But what I think is more important that we discuss with our American friends also,
00:46the fact that Russia is not only a threat to Europe, but a threat to the global security as a
00:53whole.
00:53Because Russia is not only an autocratic state, it is threatening democracies,
01:01but it is also increasingly becoming aligned with others like Iran, North Korea, and together with China, fueling this war.
01:10And I think this is an argument where we also have to be very clear with our American friends.
01:17We see that technology from China and Iran is used by Russia on the battlefield.
01:22This shows that the security of the Indo-Pacific and Europe are interconnected,
01:29and so are the European and the United States' interests in this cause.
01:35Thank you very much.
