00:00Tell me about Russia before you go.
00:01About who?
00:02Russia is accusing the U.S. of failing to deliver on quote-unquote agreements that
00:09or understanding that we had in Alaska.
00:12There was no agreement in Alaska.
00:14There was a proposal in Alaska, but there was no agreement in Alaska.
00:17If there had been an agreement, we would have had an end of the war.
00:19So, as I said, the President is prepared, and the United States remains prepared to
00:23play whatever constructive role we can to bring about, you know, an enduring end to
00:28this war in Ukraine.
00:30And which has been bloody, you know, 25,000, 20,000 soldiers killed every month,
00:345,000 a week, most of them Russian.
00:36So it's been debilitating for Europe, but especially for Ukraine, and for Russia
00:39increasingly.
00:41So we are prepared to step forward and play a constructive role if there's one for
00:44us to play, and bringing the parties together and bringing that war to an end.
00:48That's what the President's tried to do now for a year and a half, but there was
00:52no agreement in Alaska.
00:53There was a proposal made in Alaska, but it was never an agreement.
00:57By Russia or by the U.S.?
00:58I mean, it's the same thing you've seen publicly reported, right?
01:01I mean, Russia wants the entirety of Donetsk to be turned over to them, among some other
01:06things that they raised.
01:07But there was never an agreement.
01:09Had there been an agreement, there would have been an end of the war, and that's been the
01:11fundamental problem.
01:12Okay?
01:13All right, guys.
01:44I'll see you next time.
01:47I'll see you next time.
