00:05One of the positives is we agreed that we're going to have the biggest humanitarian release
00:10of prisoners, which we're going to finalize the numbers tomorrow. Steve and I are going to travel
00:15to Moscow tomorrow to meet with President Putin to go over what was discussed today and try to make
00:21more progress on some of the issues that we discussed, because we see some openings and
00:26some opportunities there. After that, we're going to fly to Dublin, and we're going to
00:31be with President Zelensky to debrief with him and further explore some of the ideas
00:36that we came up with here today. We also discussed the hard issues. No issues weren't discussed
00:42that are open. The territorial issues, which will be the hardest, but we do believe that
00:48as we discuss these other issues, we'll find a pathway to settle them all at the same time.
00:53I think that having these discussions is very important, but the implementation of post-war
00:58security will not occur until there's an agreement on territory and on all other bilateral issues.
01:05One of the goals of the meeting to Moscow, in addition to trying to finalize the humanitarian
01:13relief and the release of prisoners and other humanitarian issues that we're working on together,
01:18is going to be to try and see if we can get the Europeans added to the format so that
01:23we
01:23can make this a multilateral format. At the beginning and the end of these sessions and constantly during,
01:28we had very good interactions and discussions with our European partners. We had here the EU,
01:35we had NATO, we had the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and France and we're very, very united in all the
01:43discussions that we've had. Yes, good morning everyone. First of all, thank you guys for what you did.
01:49I think that we are working towards the final goal where it should be not trilateral, it should be
01:55multilateral, because Europeans have to sit at the table. Because if we're talking about European post-war security,
02:03Ukraine is part of Europe and European countries have to sit on the table together with us and discuss
02:09how the security in Europe will look like. The other issues that we cannot disclose at the moment,
02:15but we got a really big progress and I encourage you guys to visit Moscow and then come back to
02:21us,
02:22to Dublin and then, you know, like have a second session and set the date and announce the date for
02:27the next session as soon as possible, because I think that we have a good momentum to bring the
02:33solution before the new year comes. Is it time for Zelenskyy to meet Putin face to face?
02:43So I think it'd be great if they did that. The reality is, is there's no trust right now between
02:48the sides and that's to be expected after a conflict like this. But, you know, we should rely on
02:53interests and incentives and a good architecture in order to do that. So these deals are very hard and
02:59complex. And this one is very emotional, very complex. It's a very hot war. And so I think that
03:06it's complicated. But what we see now, and we've worked very hard at this for the last bit, is we
03:13see all the different ingredients to make a deal. And we just have to figure out how can we refine
03:18those
03:19ingredients, organize those ingredients, and then create the right structure and the right pathway to do it.
03:24Thank you guys. Thank you so much. Thank you.
