00:00The peace negotiations on Ukraine under American leadership, let me just say, we got involved, okay,
00:04because we were told we were the only ones that could do it.
00:06We were the only ones that the Russians and the Ukrainians would talk to.
00:09So we got involved. They were not fruitful, unfortunately.
00:12That's the point. We stand ready to continue to play that role.
00:15Despite leaks that are not true, despite stories out there about us forcing the Ukrainians to take this position or
00:20that position, which are not true,
00:22if we see an opportunity to pull together talks that are productive, not counterproductive,
00:30and that have the chance to be fruitful, we're prepared to play that role.
00:34There are no such talks occurring at this time.
