00:00Thanks to the leadership of President Trump, we are closer to a deal now than at any point since the war began.
00:08Despite this, Russia launched more attacks on Ukraine, including its launch of its nuclear-capable Orishnik ballistic missile,
00:18targeting an area of Ukraine close to the border with Poland and NATO.
00:23This constitutes another dangerous and inexplicable escalation of this war,
00:31even as the United States is urgently working with Kiev, other partners, and Moscow to end the war through a negotiated settlement.
00:41At a moment of tremendous potential due only to President Trump's unparalleled commitment to peace around the world,
00:48both sides should be seeking ways to de-escalate.
00:52Yet Russia's action risks expanding and intensifying the war.
