[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war) Uh, uh, Joe Petraeus and, and, uh, Vladimir Putin.

[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=4) We had a very, very, uh, good discussions on a lot of fronts.

[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=7) We were able to finalize on, uh, the prisoner of war exchange, which is, uh, a very important thing.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=12) We obviously, the human-- A lot of people are being impacted by this war, and to return these thousands of people to their families, I think will be a very nice, uh, uh, milestone to achieve.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=23) Uh, we've also been working very, very closely over the past, uh, several months with the Europeans, and I think that that's been very important.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=31) Uh, we could not, uh, conclude this deal without the Europeans being, uh, at the table.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=35) Uh, we've been, uh, telling President Putin that, uh, we believe that's very important, and, uh, President Trump has been a very strong, uh, supporter and has been saying that from the very, very beginning.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=46) And, and I think that we're able to achieve that with President Putin, and it's going to give it a try.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=49) I think that, you know, from the Russian perspective, from the European perspective, there's a lot of things that both sides are saying publicly, and, and I think that what we're hopefully seeing, uh, in the conversations when people get together is we can talk about things,

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=61) we can maybe have a little bit more calm conversations and go through these issues.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/MPZrSXF90kxX/en/putin-talks-prisoner-exchange-and-europe-s-role-in-ending-the-war?t=65) And, uh, I think what I would say, at least what we're hearing from people, is that people would like to see this war end.
