I think our
meetings
in the
United Arab
Emirates
were very
positive.
Both parties were engaged.
The Russian emissaries were meeting with the Ukrainian emissaries.
It was clear that it was purposeful,
that people were trying to find solutions to this.
Thank you.
Some of the things we've discussed that you just mentioned,
for instance, this prisoner swap between the two countries,
which will be the largest one ever done,
that I think underscores the progress that we've been making.
The Europeans were physically in the United Arab Emirates,
even though they were not at the table directly with us.
We consulted with them, we were speaking with them,
we gave them a download on everything that we were discussing.
I think in general there was very, very good rapport between us.
We'll be traveling directly from here after this meeting to Ireland
where we will meet President Zelensky before he returns home.
And we'll have important meetings with him where we'll confer
and take him through everything that's going on.
And we are hopeful that we can announce shortly
Hopefully, maybe even at the end of this meeting,
the next trilateral meeting, that will include
the Europeans, hopefully.
We've seen a big change with the Europeans,
and we think there's very strong momentum
and desire to engage together.
And we're very confident that if we move
to a multilateral format, that we'll continue
to make progress to resolve the issues,
and we believe that will help us end the war.
The Europeans are
I have a desire for this war to really be the end
and for there to be a long peace after
and understanding the long-term security between Russia,
Ukraine and Europe is a conversation
that we started having with them
and I think we'll be able to make a lot of progress on
that together to end this war
but also make sure that we avoid future wars as well.
