00:00So we stand ready as a coalition to support the meeting on Friday and everything that I hope can
00:07flow out of it. Nothing is obviously guaranteed and as Emmanuel has said and Friedrich has said
00:14the President has agreed to debrief immediately afterwards so that we know what the next steps
00:21will be but we're ready to support this including through the plans that we've already drawn up
00:27to deploy a reassurance force once hostilities have ceased. It is important to remind colleagues
00:36that we do stand ready also to increase pressure on Russia particularly the economy with sanctions
00:44and wider measures as may be necessary. You can see the effect of those measures already
00:51and we in the UK are preparing our next package of strong sanctions in that regard.
