00:00Today we already had good discussions on the international crisis and what more can we do together
00:05in order to prevent crisis from happening, but also de-escalation for different wars that we have
00:12or different tensions that we have building up.
00:16It was important to exchange information also with the new head of the World Food Program.
00:21And what he was telling us was that there should be real red lines,
00:25like no weaponization of food, no attacking of humanitarian workers,
00:30and also no famine.
00:32And of course, he was also raising that we have attacks on humanitarian workers
00:36more than we have had before, and that is all because of lack of accountability.
00:41And therefore, it was also possible for us to make the point of the ICC being so important.
00:46If the countries are not taking up the crimes or war crimes, then it should be the ICC.
00:51And it was also important to make this point in the G7 format.
00:54As you know, we have disagreements with certain G7 members
00:59regarding the ICC.
01:00And then we had the discussion with artificial intelligence,
01:04with our partners from elsewhere regarding artificial intelligence.
01:10And there, I think we all share the diagnosis that it's innovation that makes the life easier,
01:16but it also brings a lot of challenges.
01:17And we really need to make sure that the international law also applies to the development of AI,
01:25but also the cyberspace, because we have seen cyber attacks across Europe,
01:31but also across the world, that are, of course, part of the bigger grain zone tactics
01:35that our adversaries are using against us.
01:37So clearly, we need to exchange information among ourselves,
01:40and we also need to fight back on this with the means that we have in our hands.
01:47Tomorrow, we will discuss the Middle East and the war in Ukraine.
01:52So I'm also looking forward to those discussions,
01:57because clearly we need to do more together so that these wars will end.
02:03There's a lot of talk about new security architecture in Europe,
02:08and the special envoy, Jared Kushner, suggested direct talks between Europe and Russia.
02:14Your thoughts on that?
02:16Do you think that's possible to speak directly with the Russians?
02:18We have European security architecture in place.
02:22I've counted at least 30 international agreements where Russia has taken up obligations
02:27to respect sovereignty and territorial integrity, and even regarding Ukraine,
02:33we have several of those agreements.
02:34My point is that we have European security architecture in place.
02:37Our problem is that Russia is not keeping to those agreements.
02:40So all our focus should be on how we make sure that actually Russia keeps up to the obligations
02:46that he has already taken.
02:48If you think about the Budapest memorandum, Ukraine gave up the nuclear weapons
02:52so that they would be not attacked by Russia.
02:55We have different agreements in place where Helsinki Final Act,
03:00the OSCE, is about European security architecture.
03:04The only one who is breaching that security architecture is Russia,
03:07and that's why we have to make sure that in those talks there are clear concessions
03:12from the Russian side, because otherwise we will just see more of these attacks.
