Freedom TV, Vitaliy Syzov, I have a question on United States Ukraine peace negotiation.

It's possible that the Ukrainian president will visit the United States next week to maybe meet President Trump,

and yesterday State Secretary Rubio had a meeting with Lavrov.

He said that the old approach proposed by Russia will not work anymore and we need to build some new political construction.

Do you know something about this Ukrainian United States negotiation,

does the EU involved in some way in this negotiation and what this new construction could be,

how it could look like? Thank you. I'll ask Anouar to join us.

On the file, our position is well known and has been made quite clear, but happy here to reiterate it.

We have welcomed, and this from the start, the US efforts towards a just and lasting peace,

and we are in constant, constant contact with our US counterparts. Now, let's set the record straight.

Putin is trying to gain time with negotiations without being fully committed to that.

Himself and what we are seeing is that Russia's economy is suffering.

Russia's advance in Ukrainian territory has stalled, and the loss of lives is enormous.

We will, as the EU, continue putting pressure on Russia, and this, including through sanctions,

as we have just shown yesterday with the adoption of our 21st package of sanctions and to work together with Ukraine towards peace.

Thank you, Anouar. Other questions on foreign affairs, go ahead.
