Ever since Jared Kushner came into the game, actually in Geneva right after the G20 summit, and we had another meeting in Berlin and then in Paris, we have a lot of more practicality.
So we basically have, depends on how you count, six documents or two plus five documents.
The good news is that Ukraine, the United States, and the Coalition of the Willing of Europe, we're on the same page.
The big question is, are the Russians?
I'm quite skeptical about that.
You know, I think we might get a deal on security arrangements.
We might get a deal on territory, certainly on the prosperity package.
I'm quite hopeful that we'll get something here this week.
I'm not going to start interpreting the red lines of the president of the United States, but I have to say that I really like what he did on Lukoil and Rosneft on the sanctions.
And to be honest, I mean, Putin lied to President Trump about the drones hitting his dacha.
They fired ballistic missiles.
So this is something that certainly will shorten the fuse of the president of the United States.
And it, of course, depends on how much carrot do you put before you hit with the big stick.
I think we will have defused the Greenland issue.
I think we will have made progress on Ukraine.
And I am 100% sure that the world will not be finished by then.
Thanks.
I think now what we need to do is to bring down the temperature.
We need to find an off-ramp and probably create some kind of a process
which will strengthen Arctic security.
