00:00As for was I on the phone call? I was on the phone call. The phone call was in the
00:03context of now I guess I've been the Secretary of State for coming on a year and a half. I
00:09know precisely what the American policy is with respect to Ukraine. It's been remarkably consistent and we will continue to
00:18try to drive those set of outcomes.
00:21It's what our team, including Ambassador Volker, were focused on, was taking down the threat that Russia poses there in
00:31Ukraine. It was about helping the Ukrainians to get graft out and corruption outside of their government and to help
00:40now this new government in the Ukraine build a successful, thriving economy.
00:45It's what the State Department officials that I've had the privilege to lead have been engaged in and it's what
00:50we will continue to do even while all this noise is going on.
