00:00I mean, we see the escalation of their attacks.
00:02I mean, they should first start with ceasefire and to see the negotiation table.
00:07But at the same time, we also see some movement inside Russia that they are not happy with this war
00:14continuing.
00:15And that's why we need to put more pressure on them and also increase our support for Ukraine.
00:21Last week, we had a discussion with the 27 member states, which was on the substance of preparing negotiations.
00:28What are our asks? Whoever talks to the Russians.
00:32I think this is more substantial.
00:34Whoever then goes to talk to them has to also put these concessions and asks on the table.
00:41I think this is important.
00:44At the same time, I also feel that the Russians are not really there yet.
00:51So that's why we also need to have more strategic patience that we are not the demandeurs.
00:57But actually, Russia needs to talk to us because they also want to end this war.
01:02And let's start with ceasefire.
