Well, on the broader resolution, we think the UN needs to get, if it's going to be useful in the 21st century, the UN needs to get back to its charter mission, which is the prevention and the ending of war and conflict. And so we felt, everyone knows, you know, you can go back and read newspaper articles over the last three years and figure out what happened in Ukraine.

But now, as the president's made very clear, President Trump wants to end this war. He thinks far too many people have died and he wants to bring it to an end. So we didn't feel it was conducive, frankly, to have something out there at the UN that's antagonistic against either side. We're trying to get these guys to the table. And unfortunately, Ukraine didn't agree.

I mean, I'm paraphrasing and I'm being simplistic, but it says, war is a terrible thing. Way too many people have died. This war needs to end in a way that's enduring.

In essence, echoing President Trump's view of what this conflict needs to be and reminding the United Nations at the purpose of the United Nations was the prevention of war and the ending of conflicts, not making it harder to end conflicts.

Well, I think the president would want it to end yesterday, right? He thinks already too many people have died. There's been too much destruction. By the way, I think everybody should be very happy that President Trump is a peace president. We have a president that wants to end wars, not start new ones. He wants to end human suffering, not exacerbate it or extend it.
