· Europeans hope to end the war between Ukraine and Russia. (On a meeting between Putin and Zelensky) We will let them meet first. U.S.-Russia relations only matter if we can make a difference. I hope Russian President Putin will behave well; otherwise, the situation will become very serious.

· Zelensky must also show flexibility. Putin and Zelensky are getting along better than expected. Arrangements are being made for a meeting between Putin and Zelensky. Both Putin and Zelensky must make decisions.

· Ukraine will not become a NATO member. France, Germany, and the UK want to deploy ground troops in Ukraine. Putin may not want to reach an agreement. We will learn more about Putin’s intentions in the coming weeks.

· (When asked if the U.S. would send ground troops during the Russia-Ukraine conflict) I assure you, we will not. (On possible U.S. security guarantees) There may be air support. I did not call Putin in front of European leaders. (On his relationship with Putin) There is a certain warmth in our relationship.

· I don’t want to waste time; I just want to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. (Jin10)
