The primary goal is to discuss the potential resumption of trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States to establish technical next steps for resolution.
You talk so much about my president,
President Trump, being a humanitarian.
You are a humanitarian also, sir.
I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.
So we have a lot to talk
about today on our agenda.
We have to talk about some of the meetings
that happened yesterday in Oslo.
I think they were productive,
and I think there's some degree of momentum, and I hope
that this can – today can be another step forward
in the peace process and discussing
how we resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
I know the First Lady is grateful for being able
to work on behalf of some of her humanitarian
projects in the Russian Federation,
and I will extend to her your best wishes and blessings.
One thing that I hope to accomplish today
is to have some good conversation between
us about resumption, potentially,
of trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the United
States.
I'm hoping that you might consider
that as a next step in the peace process so we can
beginning we can begin
to have technical teams discussing what what what are those
next steps I think that's important
and I hope that even if we don't we have
resolution today if we just talk about it
and sort of consider what what that
next step might be I think that'll
be important the world is waiting to hear
that
