This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 200 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Progress but no breakthrough. That 201 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: may be the takeaway from the latest round of peace 202 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,239 Speaker 2: talks between US and Ukrainian negotiators over the weekend in Florida. 203 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: Secretary of State Marco Rubio led the discussions. He says 204 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: there is more work to be done. 205 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 4: We don't just want to end the war. 206 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 5: We also want to help Ukraine be safe forever, so 207 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 5: never again will they face another invasion. And equally importantly, 208 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 5: we want them to enter an age of true prosperity. 209 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: That was Secretary of State Rubio following the latest discussions 210 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: in Helendale Beach, Florida. Joining us this morning from Brussels 211 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: is Bloomberg's chief eure of correspondent, Oliver Crook. Oliver, good morning. 212 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 2: So where do things stand up after these latest talks 213 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: in Florida. 214 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 14: Well, after a week and a half we got that 215 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 14: twenty eight point plan sort of blasted out into sort 216 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 14: of the public view. The sort of discussions since then, 217 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 14: when it's been whittled down to a nineteen point plan, 218 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 14: has gone much more underground, much more behind closed doors. 219 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 14: So it's very difficult to assess at this stage how 220 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 14: close the Ukrainian, American and Russian sides are to bridging 221 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 14: some of these fairly large gaps between their conception of 222 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 14: how the end of this war would look. There, of 223 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 14: course the main issue of territorial concessions, which has been 224 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 14: sort of top of the list for everybody involved in 225 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 14: those negotiations, and then of course those security guarantees. How 226 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 14: do you prevent create an architecture to prevent the Russians 227 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 14: from ever reinvading Ukraine. Those are the two I think 228 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 14: main questions for the Ukrainian and the European side of 229 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 14: that equation, while for the Russians, you know, they have 230 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 14: a litany of sort of maximalists demands that they've been 231 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 14: sort of pushing forward. The question is on what side 232 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 14: of that the United States will fall Today we will 233 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 14: be focusing all week on the diplomacy that it's going on. 234 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 14: We have Vladimir Zelenski. He will be in Paris meeting 235 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 14: with Hi Menu in my colt later today. We understand 236 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 14: from Russian media that Whitkov will be meeting with President 237 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 14: Putin tomorrow afternoon in Moscow. And then, of course there 238 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 14: is this NATO meeting from Foreign ministers here in Brussels 239 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 14: on Wednesday, which we understand that Mark Rubio is actually skipping. 240 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 14: So what does that tell us about how close we 241 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 14: are to a deal? The fact that Putin himself is 242 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 14: expected to go to India a little bit later this 243 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 14: week may suggest that, you know, maybe we're not within 244 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 14: clutching distance of the deal. Would he really be doing 245 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 14: those sorts of trips abroad if he thought that there 246 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 14: was a deal really imminent? That is a I think 247 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 14: the question that we pose ourselves heading into this, remembering 248 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 14: that Trump wanted this done by last Thursday. Obviously the 249 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 14: complexity of this issue is putting itself on full display. 250 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: And of course here in Brussels right now, how is 251 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: Europe trying to insert itself into the discussions? 252 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 14: Well, so far failing as ever to really get a 253 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 14: seat at the table in terms of the discussions. You'll remember, 254 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 14: when that initial twenty eight point plan emerged from the woodwork, 255 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 14: there was all these ideas about what architecture for defense 256 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 14: looks like in Europe, about these sort of rules that 257 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 14: might be imposed on NATO that basically none of these 258 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 14: NATO European countries had been consulted on, despite the fact 259 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 14: that there were these conversations about the future not just 260 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 14: of the Ukrainian defense were being discussed, but actually of 261 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 14: European defense arches structure more broadly. So they've been trying 262 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 14: to assert themselves, they've been failing to do so. The 263 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 14: main way they might be able to assert themselves is 264 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 14: on this question of the frozen Russian assets one hundred 265 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 14: and forty billion euros worth of assets that are being 266 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 14: held that they're talking about creating reparations loans for the Ukrainians. 267 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 14: But of course, as you know, whenever there's a debate 268 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 14: in Europe, it means paralysis. And there are people on 269 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 14: both sides of this disagreement saying that we should hold 270 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 14: off on the Russian assets because there's a piece thought 271 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 14: going on that actually now is not the moment, and 272 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 14: others saying that it's actually time to accelerate work that message, 273 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 14: and that sort of means that nothing is getting done. 274 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 14: And once again the Europeans are found sitting at the 275 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 14: sideline awaiting with the sort of consensus from the United 276 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 14: States and from Donald Trump. 277 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: Just thirty seconds left here, Oliver. But the lead negotiator 278 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: for Ukraine, andre Yermak, has resigned in a corruption investigation 279 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: that script the country has that complicated things now to. 280 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 14: A large degree. I mean, your mac is a basically 281 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 14: de facto number two, or was in Ukraine. He stood 282 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 14: sort of shoulder to soldier to Vladimir Zlensky, a very 283 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 14: trust that Alli has throughout this entire war. We should 284 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 14: say he has not yet been charged with anything, but 285 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 14: his home and his office were searched in connection with 286 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 14: this corruption scandal dealing with some allocation of funds and 287 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 14: basically money being embezzled by the state. So of course, 288 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 14: this is a terrific blow for the Zelenski administration for 289 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 14: losing one of his key allies that he's had by 290 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 14: his side really since day one of his war. 291 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 292 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 293 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 294 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 295 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 296 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 3: am Wall Street Time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 297 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 298 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 299 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 3: XM Channel one twenty one. 300 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 301 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 302 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
