Diplomatic Efforts in Ukraine Conflict

Uh, President Putin's laid out his line, uh, of what he wants to achieve.

If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line,

then obviously, you know, we

Uh, Ukraine, uh, right now does not wanna do that,

and obviously our job as the

mediator is to figure out how can we come up with a creative solution that doesn't,

um, that doesn't violate their desires and that helps them achieve, you know,

their

objective and does it in a way that we can get, uh, Russia to,

to end the, uh,

to end the conflict in a way that hopefully, um, you know,

allows both parties to

move forward in a framework that, uh, that, where this doesn't happen again
