Разговор касается причин встречи президента и дат: упоминали 29-го и 26-го/27-го. Говорят, что сначала должна была быть встреча делегации: они готовили рамочное соглашение, затем — встреча президента, потому что подготовка документов, меморандум и сигнал партнёрам. Затем открылась Буча, и президент заявил: «Я вообще выхожу из переговоров». После возвращения из Стамбула Борис Джонсон в Киев и сказал: «мы вообще не будем с ними ничего подписывать, и давайте будем просто воевать.» The discussion covers why a meeting with the president was planned and dates (29th, with references to 26th/27th). It states that a delegation meeting should come first to draft a framework agreement, with documents, a memorandum, and partner signals prepared in advance, before the president’s meeting. Bucha opened, and the president said, "I am out of negotiations." After returning from Istanbul, Boris Johnson arrived in Kyiv and said, "we won't sign anything with them, and let's just fight."

- Speaker 0 notes that vaccines and boosters are readily available, testing has been dramatically scaled with millions of rapid tests, and that 82 percent of adult Americans have taken the vaccine. He states that those not vaccinated are nine times more likely to be hospitalized or die from the virus, and emphasizes that the country is in a different place than a year ago, with ongoing work to fight the virus. - On the strategic petroleum reserve (SPR), Speaker 0 explains that the release totals 50,000,000 barrels, with 18,000,000 already congressionally required and accelerated by the president to provide immediate relief. The remaining 32,000,000 comes from an exchange, putting barrels on the market now in exchange for their return in the future. He describes the exchange as a tool matched to the current economic environment and notes the aim to lower costs for the American people, particularly gas prices ahead of the holiday season, while acknowledging the pandemic’s impact on the global cost of goods and gas. He also mentions pressing OPEC+ to increase supply and using every tool at the administration’s disposal to help working families. - When pressed about the 50,000,000 barrels figure, Speaker 0 refrains from further detail beyond the explanation that 18,000,000 were congressionally required and the rest come from the exchange arrangement. - On China, Speaker 0 clarifies that the president did not intend to separate China publicly, saying China may do more, but the president does not want to speak for any country. He notes that the president has had conversations with other countries and that the national security team has communicated with them; announcements will be made by those countries themselves. Speaker 1 asks whether the president spoke with Xi Jinping; Speaker 0 confirms they did talk, as referenced in a readout issued afterward, and that the president asked China to discuss helping with supply, without detailing further. - Regarding Ukraine, Speaker 1 asks for updates on White House assessments and plans for a possible phone call with President Putin. Speaker 0 says there is nothing to preview at this time, but reiterates that the United States remains in very close contact with European partners.

After watching that meeting, I'm convinced this administration has zero interest in helping Ukraine maintain its sovereignty. They want us to shut up, stop complaining, stop asking for help and money, concede to Russia, and leave the US alone. Trump wants peace, but his idea of peace is to end the war and let Russia do whatever it wants. Zelensky was villainized for wanting guarantees and protections for Ukraine while being open to a ceasefire. He was told he's prolonging the war and wants World War III. No, he wants to defend his country and maintain as much freedom as possible, but he's being villainized for it. After that meeting, we're fucked.

European leaders are not coming to rescue Zelensky from bullying; they are coming "because we've been working with the Europeans" and "the president invited them to come." The visit is not a stunt; there have been more meetings with Zelensky than with Putin, including "one meeting with Putin and, like, a dozen meetings with Zelensky." The White House says Zelensky told European leaders last week he wanted a cease-fire and that he would "walk out in two minutes" if Putin didn't agree; he spent three hours with Putin but "did not get one." The aim is "a peace agreement to end this war" and there was "enough progress" to move to the next phase. If peace isn't possible, "sanctions" are on the table, but "if he did this now, the moment the president puts those additional sanctions, that's the end of the talks." It will require concessions from both sides.

There is concern from the Europeans that Zelensky is being bullied into signing something away, which is why European leaders are coming as backup tomorrow. They are coming here tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans; the president invited them to come. The president told those European leaders last week that he wanted to cease fire, and he said on television he would walk out if Putin didn’t agree, with severe consequences if he didn’t. He spent three hours with Putin and did not get one. Our goal is a peace agreement to end this war. There was enough progress in the talks to move to the next phase. If peace is not possible and the war continues, thousands will die. The president could impose new sanctions, but that would end talks; it will require concessions from both sides.

Братья Донбасса обратились к России за помощью, и было принято решение о проведении специальной военной операции. Brothers from Donbass appealed to Russia for assistance, leading to the decision to conduct a special military operation.

Russian: Сегодняшняя повестка дня посвящена восстановлению российско-американских отношений. Администрация Трампа прилагает усилия для восстановления отношений, которые были практически сведены к нулю предыдущей администрацией. Состоялся телефонный разговор с президентом Трампом, контакты между министром иностранных дел и его американским коллегой, а также встреча Юрия Ушакова с коллегами. Также было упомянуто обращение президента Трампа о сохранении жизней украинских военнослужащих, заблокированных российскими войсками в Курской области. Обращается внимание на преступления украинских боевиков против гражданских лиц в зоне вторжения, квалифицированные Генеральной прокуратурой РФ как терроризм. В случае сдачи оружия и капитуляции, военнослужащим гарантируется жизнь и достойное обращение в соответствии с международным правом и законами РФ. Для реализации обращения президента США необходим приказ от военно-политического руководства Украины о сдаче оружия. English: Today's agenda focuses on the restoration of Russian-American relations. The Trump administration is making efforts to restore relations that were practically reduced to zero by the previous administration. There was a telephone conversation with President Trump, contacts between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and his American counterpart, and a meeting between Yuri Ushakov and his counterparts. President Trump's appeal to spare the lives of Ukrainian servicemen blocked by Russian troops in the Kursk region was also mentioned. Attention is drawn to the crimes of Ukrainian militants against civilians in the invasion zone, classified by the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation as terrorism. In the event of surrender, servicemen are guaranteed life and decent treatment in accordance with international law and the laws of the Russian Federation. An order from the military-political leadership of Ukraine to surrender weapons is necessary to implement the US President's appeal.

Putin wants peace talks, but Zelensky refuses due to historical tensions. NATO's eastward expansion angers Russia, leading to conflict in Crimea. Zelensky, elected on promises of peace, faces pressure to abandon peace agreements. Russian troops enter Ukraine to push for negotiations, but Biden's interference leads to more casualties. The situation is dire, with Ukraine suffering heavy losses and international perception turning against the US.

"Почему встреча президента? Потому что в будущем." "Так сначала должна была быть встреча делегации. Они готовили рамочное соглашение, после этого должна была быть встреча президента." "Открылась Буча. Открылась Буча, и президент сказал: Я вообще выхожу из переговоров." "Когда мы вернулись из Стамбула, приехал Борис Джонсон в Киев и сказал, что мы вообще не будем с ними ничего подписывать, и давайте будем просто воевать." Why the president's meeting? Because of the future. Thus first there should have been a delegation meeting. They were preparing a framework agreement, after which there should have been a meeting with the President. Bucha opened. Bucha opened, and the president said: I am quitting the negotiations. When we returned from Istanbul, Boris Johnson came to Kyiv and said that we would not sign anything with them, and let's just fight.

To restart talks, Zelensky needs to say he wants peace. He doesn't need to say negative things about me. He simply has to state, "I want to make peace. I don't want to fight this war any longer." His people are dying, and he needs to understand he doesn't hold the strong cards in this situation.

Zelenskyj is getting into a car, not accompanied by President Trump, as he departs from the White House. The mineral agreement is off, and the joint press conference is canceled. The future of peace negotiations is uncertain. How can there be trust moving forward? The Ukrainian delegation, including several ministers, has left. Zelenskyj got into the car, waved to the press, and was on the phone. **Translation:** Zelenskyj steigt in ein Auto, nicht begleitet von Präsident Trump, als er das Weiße Haus verlässt. Das Mineralienabkommen ist geplatzt und die gemeinsame Pressekonferenz abgesagt. Die Zukunft der Friedensverhandlungen ist ungewiss. Wie kann es in Zukunft Vertrauen geben? Die ukrainische Delegation, darunter mehrere Minister, hat das Land verlassen. Zelenskyj stieg ins Auto, winkte der Presse zu und telefonierte.

**Original Language Summary:** Сегодня на повестке дня восстановление российско-американских отношений. Новая администрация Трампа пытается восстановить то, что было уничтожено прежней администрацией. Состоялся телефонный разговор с Президентом Трампом, контакты Министра иностранных дел и встреча помощника Президента России с визави. Также было отмечено обращение Президента Трампа пощадить жизни украинских военнослужащих, заблокированных российскими войсками в Курской области, где украинские боевики совершили преступления против гражданского населения, квалифицируемые как терроризм. В случае сдачи в плен украинским военнослужащим будет гарантирована жизнь и достойное обращение. Для этого необходим приказ украинского военно-политического руководства о сдаче в плен. **English Translation:** Today's agenda focuses on restoring Russian-American relations. The new Trump administration is trying to rebuild what the previous administration destroyed. There was a phone call with President Trump, contacts between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and a meeting between the Russian President's aide and their counterpart. Also noted was President Trump's appeal to spare the lives of Ukrainian soldiers blocked by Russian troops in the Kursk region, where Ukrainian militants committed crimes against civilians, classified as terrorism. If Ukrainian soldiers surrender, their lives and humane treatment will be guaranteed. This requires an order from the Ukrainian military-political leadership to surrender.

The speakers discuss the situation in Ukraine, American support, NATO, and sanctions on Russia. They touch on Trump's views, French involvement, and the importance of Republican support. The conversation also covers Armenia's shift towards the West and the need to strengthen ties with key figures. The speakers express concern over Putin's ambitions and emphasize the need for unity and strategic alliances. They end on a positive note, reminiscing about past meetings and expressing a desire to stay connected.

Mario (Speaker 0) and the Ukrainian ambassador (Speaker 1) discuss a mix of domestic corruption allegations, high-stakes diplomacy, and battlefield realities shaping Ukraine’s path toward ending the war. - Corruption scandal in Ukraine: The ambassador notes the scandal involved two government members and another former member, not Zelenskyy personally. She says lessons have been learned: war does not justify turning a blind eye to corruption, and the president has instructed the government to maintain full control of the situation and meet commitments and expectations. She emphasizes that the silver lining is the independent National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) digging out the scandal, describing NABU as the positive development in this context. Zelenskyy’s response included calls for retirement of involved officials and a push for court hearings and convictions; he reportedly found it personally complex to accept the retirement of his long-time ally, Andriy Yermak, the head of the president’s office, but acknowledges the need for accountability and signals that further exposures would trigger similar actions. The ambassador stresses that all institutions must follow procedures and that the public pressure around the issue is especially painful as winter approaches. - Putin, NATO, and Ukraine’s diplomatic posture: The conversation turns to recent developments. President Putin’s comment after a meeting with the U.S. delegation—“we’ll take Donbas by force or by surrender”—is viewed as a signaling to the American side about Russia’s stance, with the ambassador noting limited progress from the Ukrainian delegation’s talks (Rostov Mumarov and Vipkov) and anticipating a fuller readout. The ambassador says Macron’s discussions with China and China’s involvement in Moscow at the same time as U.S. delegations signals China’s continuing engagement with both Russia and Western actors; China previously supported Russia’s war with material and financial backing, and the ambassador argues China’s presence in Moscow is natural given the broader geopolitics and the need to monitor unpredictable developments. - China and the broader strategic context: The ambassador explains that while Ukraine receives limited direct messaging from China, Beijing maintains dialogue with Russia, the United States, and European allies; China’s alignment with Russia was highlighted at the start of the large-scale invasion, with Xi Jinping and Putin signaling a “thousand-year partnership.” She notes Russia’s shift in narrative after Putin’s Alaska meeting with the U.S. president and suggests Chinese watchdogs in Moscow are a natural counterpoint to Western diplomacy. - The two major sticking points in negotiations: The ambassador notes that Russia presented a 28-point plan (narrowed to 20 points) focused on Donbas, with broader implications including security guarantees and the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO. She argues that it’s not productive to comment on each point in isolation since the Russian side uses a broader narrative that includes education of Ukrainian youth about anti-Western narratives. Ukraine is prepared to discuss a multi-layer solution: ceasefire, security guarantees, deterrence, and post-war political frameworks, while preserving sovereignty. - NATO and security guarantees: The ambassador contends security guarantees could be as strong as a NATO article-five framework, likening allied military actions to past operations conducted with partners. She distinguishes between the mere membership debate and practical security guarantees, asserting that Ukraine’s sovereignty remains paramount and that security guarantees are a meaningful path alongside potential NATO membership. - Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s roles: The ambassador describes a layered U.S. approach (Witkoff as special envoy with direct dialogue with Russia, Rubio coordinating with European allies and NATO officials, plus others like Daniel Driscoll and Candy Baker). She says these are not adversarial to diplomacy; rather, they form a structured process that could converge on a formal U.S.-Ukraine negotiation framework with eventual endorsement by the U.S. administration. - Pokrovsk and battlefield dynamics: The ambassador downplays the idea that Pokrovsk’s capture would decisively alter front-line dynamics, noting that the front experiences hundreds of engagements weekly. She acknowledges that Russia’s propaganda around Pokrovsk is designed to signal progress, but argues the reality is a broader battlefield picture with ongoing Ukrainian resilience. - Long-term strategic questions and sanctions: The ambassador reiterates bipartisan U.S. support for sanctions and designating Russia as a sponsor of terrorism, while acknowledging that enforceability is challenging and that Russia seeks time through delaying tactics. She emphasizes that Ukraine cannot rely on speed alone and must continue leveraging strikes on Russia’s energy and military infrastructure, including the so-called “shadow fleet” vessels, while avoiding direct strikes on civilians. - The Yermak corruption episode: The NABU-led investigation exposed the scandal; the president requested retirement for implicated officials and supported legal proceedings. The ambassador clarifies that there is no evidence implicating Zelenskyy himself, stressing the personal responsibility of the president and the need for transparent procedures moving forward, while maintaining that Yermak’s future role is subject to ongoing scrutiny. She notes media rumors (e.g., “golden toilets”) are not substantiated and emphasizes that Yermak has been sanctioned and that the government is pursuing accountability in a manner consistent with legal processes.

Вопрос о возможной встрече с президентом США Трампом и украинском урегулировании остается актуальным. Россия не отказывалась от контактов с США, хотя предыдущая администрация их избегала. Трамп и я имели деловые, доверительные отношения. Если бы он был президентом в 2020 году, возможно, кризиса в Украине удалось бы избежать. Однако его администрация также вводила санкции против России, что не способствовало интересам обеих стран. Мы открыты к переговорам по украинской проблематике, но действующий запрет на переговоры со стороны Киева создает препятствия. Существуют точки соприкосновения между нашими странами в вопросах стратегической стабильности и экономики. Мы готовы к диалогу, но это зависит от выбора американской администрации. --- The question of a possible meeting with President Trump and the Ukrainian settlement remains relevant. Russia has not refused contacts with the US, although the previous administration avoided them. Trump and I had business, trusting relations. If he had been president in 2020, the crisis in Ukraine might have been avoided. However, his administration also imposed sanctions on Russia, which did not serve the interests of both countries. We are open to negotiations on the Ukrainian issue, but the current ban on negotiations from Kyiv creates obstacles. There are points of convergence between our countries on strategic stability and economic issues. We are ready for dialogue, but this depends on the choice of the American administration.

**Original Summary (Ukrainian):** Звернення до українців та світової спільноти з проханням звернути увагу на критичну ситуацію в Маріуполі та на "Азовсталі". Наголошується на щоденних загиблих і поранених, яким неможливо надати медичну допомогу. Необхідний зелений коридор для евакуації поранених та вивезення тіл загиблих. Заклик до цивілізованого світу гарантувати безпеку та евакуацію бійців. Родини військових звертаються до президента України з проханням звернутися до ООН та внести списки поранених і загиблих для евакуації. **English Translation:** An appeal to Ukrainians and the world community to pay attention to the critical situation in Mariupol and at "Azovstal." It is emphasized that there are daily deaths and injuries, and it is impossible to provide medical assistance. A green corridor is needed to evacuate the wounded and remove the bodies of the dead. An appeal to the civilized world to guarantee the safety and evacuation of soldiers. The families of the military are appealing to the President of Ukraine to appeal to the UN and include lists of the wounded and dead for evacuation.

The speaker believes a deal is emerging after a nearly five-hour meeting, the third one held. Two of Putin's key advisors, Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev, were present. The meeting was compelling, and they finally arrived at Putin's request: to have a permanent peace. They got an answer beyond just a ceasefire.

As of right now, there is no ceasefire in place, and we've seen Russia continue its attacks on Ukraine. The question is what indications the president is getting from Putin that he wants to have this meeting with Zelensky soon, because he spoke to him directly yesterday. And he expressed that rather He than spoke to that directly yesterday, and the president put that in his statement that he gave to all of you, the news media, knowing you'd be asking following that conversation in the effort of transparency. The remark references a direct contact yesterday and a statement issued to the media in the effort of transparency.

Russia occupied parts of Ukraine, including Crimea, starting in 2014. During the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations, no one stopped him as people died on the contact line. In 2019, I signed a ceasefire deal with Macron, Merkel, and him, but he broke it, killing people and not exchanging prisoners. We need diplomacy to end the destruction of Ukraine. We have problems during the war, like everyone else. We are staying strong and thankful for the support, but we are not winning. You have given us billions of dollars in military equipment. I have said thank you many times to the American people. We want to stop the war, but we want a ceasefire with guarantees. Ask our people about a ceasefire. Obama gave us sheets, but Trump gave us javelins. Without your support, we have no cards.

It's surprising that a call between Trump and Putin occurred, and even more so that negotiations were discussed as the meeting concluded, leaving many unable to react. This raises concerns that Trump and Putin might reach agreements without considering the interests of Ukraine and Europe. This development comes after the new US Defense Minister, Pete Haxhes, during his visit, stated firmly that US troops would not participate in security arrangements in Ukraine. The US also doesn't believe that NATO membership is a realistic outcome of negotiations. Haxhes dismissed Ukraine's hopes of regaining all occupied territories, including Crimea, calling it unrealistic.

It's essential to extend the special status agreement for specific regions within Donbass. Ultimately, the goal is to make this regulation permanent, as originally intended. **(English Translation)** It's essential to extend the special status agreement for specific regions within Donbass. Ultimately, the goal is to make this regulation permanent, as originally intended.

Thank you, Mr. President. I have a few questions for you. Is there a new deal in the works? What's the latest regarding the Brexit deal? President Zelensky, can you share any updates on what has transpired recently? Also, I'm wondering, did you sign the minerals deal? Did you sign the minerals deal? Did you sign the deal?

Le président de la République tente de recentrer les débats sur la guerre en Europe pour les élections, ce qui divise et semble irresponsable. Les accords avec l'Ukraine pour l'OTAN sont critiqués comme une diversion des problèmes nationaux. Macron est accusé d'immaturité, narcissisme et cynisme. Son attitude est jugée dangereuse pour des vies humaines. Son armée est remise en question quant à sa capacité de tenir une semaine en guerre. Translation: The President is criticized for trying to shift focus to war in Europe before elections, which is seen as divisive and irresponsible. Agreements with Ukraine for NATO are viewed as a distraction from national issues. Macron is accused of immaturity, narcissism, and cynicism. His behavior is deemed dangerous for human lives. His army's ability to withstand a week of war is questioned.
