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.

starting with the russians so we met with them last week and the basic question of that meeting was are you interested in ending this conflict or not a lot of people don't know the answer to that if you talk to some in europe they'll tell you that putin is not interested in ending the war they said they would be under the right conditions we didn't discuss what those conditions were so the next step now is to meet with them again at some point with the right group of people in the room and begin to outline what would it take for russia to stop a war and obviously we got to ask ukraine the same question because you can't stop a war unless both sides agree to it
