The U.S.

will provide up to $1.6 billion over the next five years to support priority health programs, while Kenya will increase domestic health spending by $850 million to foster its health self-reliance.

What they're literally fighting over now is about 30 to 50 kilometer space in the 20 percent of the Donetsk region that remains.

And so what we have tried to do, and I think have made some progress, is figure out what can the Ukrainians live with that gives them security guarantees for the future.

They're never going to be invaded again.

The diplomatic corps of the United States feels the effects of what has been undertaken in the form of managing their workplace to the ground.

We don't just want to end the war.

We also want to help Ukraine be safe forever, so never again will they face another invasion.

So it's not normal for the world to simply have a unipolar power. That was an anomaly. It was the product of the end of the Cold War. But eventually you were going to reach back to a point where you had a multipolar world, multi great powers in different parts of the planet. We face that now with China and to some extent, you know, Russia. And so we'll keep you posted every step of the way, but we need to really focus on what's happening in this region because, you know, it's...

There's still some work to be done.

But we are much further ahead today at this time than we were when we began this morning and where we were a week ago for certain.

Over the last 96 hours or more, there's been extensive engagement with the Ukrainian side, including our Secretary of the Army and others, being on the ground in Kiev, meeting with relevant stakeholders across the Ukrainian political spectrum in the

legislative branch and the executive branch and the military and others to further sort of narrow these points.

Now, obviously, like any final agreement, they'll have to be agreed upon by the presidents.
