U. S. Feels about this new peace proposal from france and germany, particularly in the context of merkel coming here next week and these discussions about whether to send lethal aid. Im also wondering if you have anything on that magical piece of paper to share with us, feel free to do so. Purely administrative issues. That better not be the case. Let me say a couple of things on this. The United States has been saying for some timing that it will that its a diplomatic negotiation thats required to bring this conflict in ukraine to an end. This is not something thats going to be solved or resolved militarily but rather through diplomatic negotiations. We certainly are encouraging and supportive of ongoing efforts to try to find a peaceful diplomatic resolution to the conflict in ukraine. One concern that we have is previous diplomatic efforts have resulted in agreements that the russians and the separatists that they back in Eastern Ukraine didnt live up to. There were commitments made
