00:02We understand that the delegations are meeting just a couple of rooms away.
00:07They're now into their second day of negotiations.
00:10Much of this process remains shrouded in secrecy.
00:13Even we did not know where we were heading until we arrived here.
00:17And now it's just a waiting game.
00:19Securities, as you expect, is tight.
00:21And that reflects just how delicate these talks are.
00:24Bringing Russian, Ukrainian and American negotiators together in one building
00:28has taken months and months of diplomacy.
00:30And these are the first talks of their kind since February.
00:34From Kiev, President Zelensky described the opening session as constructive,
00:39saying it covered both humanitarian and security issues.
00:43For Ukraine, the stakes could not be higher.
00:46Even as negotiators sit down here,
00:49Russia is ramping up attacks on the country's energy infrastructure.
00:53Ukraine's foreign minister says he has urged Washington
00:56to speed up delivery of air defence interceptors.
00:59For now, the doors to the negotiations stay closed,
01:02and the world waits to see what comes out of that room.
